  1. One of my spring favorites. :-)
    Thank you for sharing.
    I did win a photo contest years back with a photo I took of a trillium.

    1. It's wonderful that these occur naturally here--planted by Mother Nature. I agree, they are special. :)

  4. How I love the spring ephemerals and Trillium. In my woods, I had many of the ephemerals and loved going out to find them.

    1. I know what you mean, Andree. This time of year is such a joy--to search out and find the spring ephemerals in flower again.

    1. I don't think my parents had Trilliums in their gardens. My mom had lovely gardens, but I think they were too sunny for Trilliums. But I remember seeing them during hikes when I was young. ❤️

  7. Trilliums are the kind of flowers you almost stumble upon… and then can’t stop looking at. Beautiful pics.

  9. What beautiful trilliums! I just got a carpet cleaning for my living room and have been looking for a new floral arrangement to put in there. Maybe I should go with trilliums. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hi Molly: Thanks for stopping by! Trilliums are amazing, but I believe it's recommended that you don't pick them. They can take several years to bloom. But if you buy a potted one at a plant sale, you could display it while it's blooming and then place it in your woodland. Just an idea. :)

    1. Hi Lee: The Trilliums have a special place in my heart. I was so thrilled to find them in the woodland many years ago when we were new to this property. They never lose their magic for me.

    1. I know. It's one benefit of this climate. But I wish I could grow (and keep alive during the winter) Camellias, Grevillea, Lemon trees, and many more. 😉

    1. Thanks, Jeannie. I like the Prairie Trilliums, too, and they're new (past several years) to this property. When we first moved here, we had loads of Great Whites. Then about 15 years ago, I found a patch of Red Trilliums that has slowly expanded. Thrilled to have all of them here. I didn't plant any of them.

    2. Anything other than weeds that plants itself is a win in my book!

    3. Jeannie: We have plenty of unwanted invasives here, too. :(

    1. Agree: They're amazing plants. Mother Nature planted all of them. I simply observe and appreciate them. 🤍
