The trillium is our designated provincial flower. I know of a patch, nit far from here, that I have returned to several times, but not for the past two years. And as you will see from the following photos, I almost missed again this year.
They have short lives and looked less than full early last week when I drove by, so I decided to wait for awhile, but were all but done by the time that I got around to them by the end of the week.
They do look old and spent, but so do I, so I retain some respect for them.
Such beauties! You can imagine what they were in their prime! Sounds familiar!
ReplyDeleteThese are grand photos!
ReplyDeleteEven these trillium are "well spent" as you put it, John, they still have beauty in the photos you posted.
ReplyDeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteMy trillium are still going!
ReplyDeleteI like that top photo. Perhaps a tighter crop. The fence is great. I've never seen a trilium, but have a friend on Prosebox that uses that as a name. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fragility of the petals. They are almost see-through!
