    What a wonderful shot of trillium. Always love seeing these on hikes. Thanks so much for sharing this! Have you heard that if you pick them it takes 7 years for them to grow back? Edith

  • i hadnt heard that, but would be surprised – anyway these are usually in protected areas so it hadn’t crossed our minds

    I have personally never picked them as I enjoy their beauty but have stopped others from picking them and let them know. I have always felt that what I see belongs where I see it as part of nature. Glad to see you do too.

  • besides, they turn a pretty rusty red later
