     The Nodding White Trillium is a perennial, native wildflower in Wisconsin. It grows to a height of six to 24 inches. It produces a single white flower, one to 1-1/2 inches wide, with three white petals and three sepals, that hang below a whorl of leaves on a short stalk, up to two inches long. The leaves grow in a whorl of three that are wavy-edged, toothless, stalkless, and tipped at the end. It grows in wet, deciduous woodlands.  (LS)
