We have totally different wildflowers out here, but I remember some of yours from when I lived in PA. My favorites were trillium, trout lily, and Turk's cap lily. Wildflower season is just about over here since it hasn't rained in a month or more, but I have been getting out about twice a week.
I have never seen the red trillium. The deer herd is being diminished. For the first time in many years we have seen the return of a few trillium in our mountains. Thanks for the peek.
Ooh, yes, Turk's cap lilies are adorable! CA wildflowers are lovely, too... ours pop up when the weather warms, and I guess you get yours after a good rain?
Doc, I wondered if the deer overpopulation was responsible for fewer trilliums... I can remember driving along the PA turnpike and seeing every little wooded vale just carpeted in them!
I've seen both red and white trilliums in PA (Warren County). The white was much more common. One of those my dad said was sometimes called wet dog trillium because it smelled bad. I read somewhere that you shouldn't pick trillium flowers because it will kill the plant.
Yes, Critter, we get our flowers after a good rain. Broadly speaking, the more rain, the more flowers, up to a point, of course.
