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! #258292Gordon B. Keyes June 05, 2005
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!Gordon #1431906

Very nice shot. Similar to my "Ontario Flower". Mine was taken in Algonquin Provinial Park.There was painted ones there as well, but there were flows on them. yours is flowless. good job #1433395Gordon B. Keyes June 05, 2005
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)Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
