Being that it is Holy Week for Christians, this reminds me of the Trinity... the Godhead made up of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There are 3 petals, 3 parts to the trillium... the petals, stamen and pistil. Trillium grows wild where we live, heralding new life, and the arrival of spring.
@homeschoolmom Lisa I live in Southwest Virginia, and I grew up in Sevier County in Tennessee where the Great Smoky Mountains are. We often saw them in the mountains there. How far south are you?
