Trillium Mendon Green, Mendon, New York Most woodland wildflowers such as the trillium (Trillium grandifolium) blossom in late spring, before tree foliage emerges, blocks the sunlight, and shades the forest floor. With three leaves and three large white petals, this plant has long been associated with the Trinity and the Christian faith. This property in upstate New York is blessed with extensive woodlands, all of which were saved by locating the development on the previously disturbed areas devoid of ecological significance: the farmland.
