Trilliums

I found these Trilliums in a wooded area. There was a huge patch of them all in bloom and I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures! The red ones got my attention because they are rare around here and so beautiful.
Trilliums are the official flower of Ontario

 

Those are lovely Netty, I have never seen the red before. Thanks for sharing them with us.

 

Those are so pretty! I've heard of trilliums but have never seen them. Do they smell?

 

They are just so pretty I have never, seen them before.

 

I'm not too sure if they smell Teddybear. Next time I see some I'll smell them! I have a feeling that they don't or I would have known.

 

I've never noted any particular scent from them - I have two sets of white ones in my yard that come back each year. They are a protected native plant, at least here in Oregon.

 

Very pretty. I used to see the white ones but I don't recall ever seeing the red ones. Thanks for sharing.

 

Such pretty woodland plants, I've never tried to grow them,
but maybe one day . . . :-D

 

To day I drove from our home in Northern Wisconsin, to Milwaukee. Along the way I drove through an area that I knew of, where there would be Trilliums. For a short time each spring they flower for a couple weeks and the forest floor is ablaze with the flowers. I had my camera along and got these photos. Also there is a web sight that talks about them.

WOW!! Just spectacular,
they really are so lovely.

 

Beautiful. I bet you were smiling when you came upon them. Glad you are finally in Spring. 8)

 

Those are just wonderful.Great setting for the trees.

 

I found a huge patch of Trilliums blooming yesterday in a forest. It was an incredible sight...the forest floor was completely covered with white blooms as far as you could see. I didn't have my camera with me
