'Red trillium' is the common name of 'Trillium erectum'. It's an indicator of moist soil, because of its preference for stream environments and lowland or mountain woodlands. But whatever the environment in which it finds itself, it will be accompanied by pollinating flies. The beautiful red blossoms give off a distasteful smell that nevertheless attracts flies to red trillium pollen.

An unpleasant smell tends to be the sign in nature of plant pollination by flies, beetles or bats.
