“After perusing this book, written by two addicted enthusiasts, you too will carry a torch for trilliums in the wild and in the garden.” —Horticulture

Trilliums is a superb work, a complete review of all forty-three species that clarifies a muddled taxonomy while embracing a genuine appreciation for this beguiling. . . . group of garden-worthy plants.” —Pacific Horticulture

“A particularly informative and useful source of information. Wildflower enthusiasts and backyard gardeners will especially welcome the section dealing with trillium horticulture.” —Northwestern Press

“A book that is as beautiful as it is useful. The drawings and photographs combine to give readers extraordinarily clear pictures of this genus. These are complemented by a well-written and thorough text. The authors have an obvious love and knowledge of their subject. This book belongs in all but the smallest gardening collections.” —American Reference Books Annual

“This is the first book-length treatment of these lovely flowers.” —Garden Gazette

The books is a joy to behold and thoroughly wonderful to read.. . . . Anyone who has the least interest in native plants will want to own this book.” —Castanea

“Frederick Case, Jr., and Roberta Case have done a remarkable job in researching and writing this book and in assembling the photographs and mapping the boundaries of this widespread genus. Trilliums will be the definitive work on this genus for a long time to come. Along with all the other pluses in Trilliums, the text is a treat to read. This is science at its best: understandable, interesting and useful. If you’re like me, you’ll find the only difficult part of owning this book is closing its covers and putting it down.” —Herbertia

“A splendid work.” —Taxon
