These plants are just beautiful. I have some trillium grandiflorum (sp?) -the white ones but would love a few red. Maybe at the next native plant sale.
I get the urge to "own" everything too. Happily, I can walk in the woods to see these.
I missed the trilliums this year but saw many bellworts and Jack-in-the Pulpits, and Dentarias galore. Nice photos!
Gorgeous--I borrowed one of your trillium photos for this week's (computer) wallpaper, I hope you don't mind, I just couldn't resist. And that Jack-in-the-pulpit makes me drool. Hard to believe that something that looks that exotic can really crow in the cold woodlands here, isn't it?
I'm glad you are enjoying the photos. I expect in a week or so the wild flowers will be appearing in such numbers that I will lose track of them all!
