Spent Trilliums

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.

Even these trillium are "well spent" as you put it, John, they still have beauty in the photos you posted.

I 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. :)

Love the fragility of the petals. They are almost see-through!
