Day 190: The Western Trillium is one of the most recognizable and most loved wildflowers of damp Pacific Northwest forests. As the blossom ages, it will take on a pinkish hue, eventually turning a deep purple before it drops. A member of the lily family, Trillium does not transplant well and its numbers have declined over the last few decades due to over-collecting. I am fortunate that these grow in the woods adjacent to my home. I had only to wait for a break in the rain to capture their beauty.
Have had the fortunate experience to see these in person twice in my life.....once in Alaska & once in the Redwoods They are a delight to see indeed! Nice pic!
