Trilliums are everywhere up here in central Ontario right now. This beautiful flower grows rampid in the woods and peek out along the edge of the forests.

Today, I headed off down our road to take some photos. (the trilliums on the property are a bit smaller because they don’t get as much sun).
For three weeks max, Ontarios’ Provincial flower, blooms. This pretty wildflower is protected by law here in this province, mainly because once picked, it takes several years to regrow, unlike most other plants.

Bus tours actually come up to do a Trillium tour. Tourists travel the roads on the backroads on the weekend to enjoy this spring delight. There is no shortage of photographers either.

For some reason, it doesn’t matter whether you have piles of photos… each year you still go out looking. The season is so short for them and then we have to wait until next spring .

If we get trillium here, I have yet to find it. We had them all in the wooded area of our yard in Ottawa though, I love them.
Are you still in Ontario?
No, we have since relocated to St. Louis Missouri. We are working on making a native garden here, so no trillium 😦 lots of other lovely thing though!
Oh, you did make a switch! All the best with your garden…
Thanks, we put some new things in over the weekend and I am pretty pleased with the way things are going.
I just saw lots of them in the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee!
Wow,I didn’t realize they went down that far. I love the Smoky Mountains!
