Spectacular, Gordon. What a lovely flower - I have heard of trillium, but never seen one. Beautifully shot in natural setting - really sets it off nicely!

  Thanks, Marsha! Purple ("wet dog")trillium is another variety that grows around here, but their flowers tend to face the ground and it's hard to get a good shot of them. They also smell like a wet dog!

  Thanks, Bill! I've never seen a white trillium, but I see from a distribution map that it's range extends very close to here. I'll be keeping my eyes open! (or maybe take a trip to Algonquin next spring)
