Regal Splendor II by sunnygreenwood

Regal Splendor II

We have several Red Trilliums [Trillium erectum] growing on our property. The white version of this plant is our Provincial flower [Ontario, Canada] and can be seen in abundance in the woodland settings in north eastern North America. Red ones and pink ones are not as common. I know a keen plant enthusiast who goes for miles, photographing four, five and six petaled versions of all colours, which are all extremely rare.

Many thanks for dropping by.

ps. Nothing has changed at all since I posted a pic of these last year ;-)
Gorgeous! I've never seen a red one before(in person)

Ha ha, we call these stinkin' Johnny's, they smell like rotting something or other. But pretty to look at.

These have such brilliant and beautiful colors!! Stunning, Anne. The first thing that I thought of was Christmas. That deep red and the green. I understand that photographer/plant enthusiast who will travel miles to capture a photo of these .... totally understand why he does.

Beautiful colours!

Wonderful focus and colours! We called these Wake Robins, I believe! I miss that. Will there still be some in bloom in 10 days...I am travelling to Barry's Bay with my daughter and then to Sydenham to visit my F-i-L.

Great shot! I saw some of these on a forest path in Ohio a few weeks ago - I took some shots of them (of course), but I had no idea what they were.
May 3rd, 2012  
Wow, that sure is a beauty and you have done it justice. Lovely shot.
May 3rd, 2012  
beautiful spring flowers!
May 3rd, 2012  
Verny nice shot! Now I realize I never saw the trillium in my yard this year. It seems quite a few things have disappeared.
May 3rd, 2012  
What a beautiful flower, Anne. Very nicely captured.
May 3rd, 2012  
What a beautiful plant - it reminds me of a poinsettia.
May 3rd, 2012  
Wonderful! They were endangered here, are not anymore but we are still not allowed to pick them. Yours are beautiful!
May 3rd, 2012

@lynnb yes, you might see some in spots where it's a bit colder/later on the barry's bay end of the trip. Ours just came out a few days ago and will last for a week or so at least. you should see lots of white ones --- they're just coming out now. safe travels lynn! thanks for dropping by.

This is beautiful. I had no idea there were other colors than white and no more petals than three. You learn something new every day.
