Tonight, one of my favorite flowers, Trillium. Found in wooded, shaded areas this three petaled, three leafed wonder is fairly common in the Pacific Northwest. Most of the Trillium you find in the wild are white. I was lucky enough to once have a yellow one. They're not quite as easy to find. These two were a few yards off the Chehalis Western Trail while we were on a bike ride.For more magnificent Floral Friday photos click the link below.
Trillium is a great name and the threefold symmetry is really rather pleasing.
ReplyDeleteAren't they just the sweetest woodland flower. I love finding them also. MB
ReplyDeleteA new one for me. So tiny and delicate.
ReplyDeleteI've read the word but had never seen the flower until now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the forests beautiful gems. The three-petal structure is intriguing, for sure!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I don't think I've ever seen them before.
ReplyDeleteUnusual and unbeknownst to me...very beautiful flower. And they grow wild? Amazing. You'll have to show us a yellow one if you should happen upon such!
ReplyDeleteFine foto!
Hey, MB knows what I'm talking about!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we were able to show the rest of you something new.
Jacob: If I find a yellow one I'll do just that.
I've never seen a yellow one, but Trillium grandiflorum (a big white version) is Ontario's provincial flower. They bloom profusely in April here.
