Trilliums

The trilliums are blooming now. Our woods are filled with these flowers, and they have even spread down into the edges of the yard. These native wildflowers have one thick stem and grow to about 15 inches tall. Each plant has a very large, single flower which droops below three large, bright green leaves. The flower color ranges from deep mauve to very dark burgundy. These nodding flowers appear from late April to early June and are very striking against all the green of the leaves and the white blooms of the mayapples and the many other wildflowers in the woods right now.
