Trillium undulatum (Painted Trillium) is a wildflower of the genus trillium found from the Great Smoky Mountains to Ontario and east to Nova Scotia. It is also known as painted lady or trille ondulé. It demands strongly acidic, humus-rich soils and tends to be found in the shade of acid-loving trees such as eastern white pine, red maple, red spruce and balsam fir.
