Trilliums

The trillium is Ontario's provincial flower, and right now they are out in full force in the local deciduous woods:


Look, but don't pick!

  1. Nice shots. I was driving yesterday thinking I should stop and take some pix of the trilliums in the woods...and now I don't have to! Nice job.

  2. Every year I mean to take photos, and every year I forget. For a change I was in the right place at the right time, with a camera!

  3. Well, a few of the official Ontario flowers got into Quebec.(les envahisseurs!) There are tons at the summit atop Mount Royal.
    A few years back, I took a whole roll (yes, the non digital stuff) and made notes with them.

    The trilliums were not quite open last Sunday, but I am sure they are bloomin' now!

  6. Beautiful - as a child I was a terrible Trillium picker! I especially loved the dark purple ones.
    I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I'be been told you can transplant them!

  9. Wandering Cat, I too was a naughty little trillium picker. I must have known it was wrong, because I had one in a vase, and when I found out our policeman-neighbour was coming over, I hid it in the kitchen cupboard!
