White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum)
The Trillium is the official flower of the Province of Ontario. It is illegal to pick or dig up Trilliums in the wild in Ontario, though not to plant ones purchased from growers.

That’s awesome how you brought out the three in each of those. This has been such a fun theme with so many different angles. You’ve got nice shots that fit the theme just right.

I didn’t know it was illegal to pick trilliums in the wild. I don’t live in Canada of course, so that may be the reason. 🙂 It implies that they are endangered – are they?

Should have qualified that… It’s illegal to pick them in Ontario where they are the Provincial flower.

Lovely. I did not know it was illegal to pick trilliums. I’ve never seen one in real life – guess they don’t tend to grow in downtown Toronto.

I found one growing in my garden last summer. In fact, I have found a bunch of stuff sort of growing spontaneously in my garden that I KNOW I didn’t plant.
I am hoping when we move I can transplant a few of them, including the Trillium (since it isn’t growing wild).

Gorgeous photos of these plants! The trillium has such defined markings on the petals!
