This is "the Trinity Flower" in Mrs. Swing's story of that name 

 in her "Dandelion Clocks and Other Tales." 



"And what was the Trinity Flower like, my Father?" asked the 

 boy. 



"It was about the size of Herb Paris, my son," replied the hermit. 

 "But instead of being fourfold every way, it numbered the mystic 

 Three. Every part was threefold. The leaves were three, the petals 

 three, the sepals three. The flower was snow-white, but on each 

 of the three parts it was stained with crimson stripes, like white 

 garments dyed in blood."
