sugarzebra Cream of the Crop  More info | May 27, 2006 22:53 | #1 Trilliums are the official provincial flower in Ontario. They are wild and bloom only for a couple of weeks each year in mid-May, so its always nice to see them. The white variety is common while the 'red' is relatively rare.

They are typically found in the forest, and most often in fairly wet areas. In Ontario, because they are our provincial flower, you are not allowed to pick them. Scott

The painted trilliums are white with streaks of red in them:
Of your shots, I like the 4th one the best. - d Canon 7D | 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 | 24mm f/2.8 | 24-105mm f/4 L IS | 50mm f/1.8 | 100mm f/2.8 Macro | 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS

May 29, 2006 14:43 | #11 Very nice shots, as is Rubberhead's as well. Your red/purple trilium is what I remember seeing around here as a kid fourty years ago, however over the last twenty years or so they are generally very weak in colour. Scott

Rubberhead wrote: Sugarzebra, What species is that "grandiflora"? I believe its a Trillium grandiflorum or large flowered trillium, which is common around Ontario. Dont quote me on that though.....my undergraduate degree is in zoology, not botany Scott
