    What a beautiful combination of burgundy and green. That green is so vibrant it equals the flowers’ impact!

  2. That is a gorgeous one! I’ve only seen one species myself, and it looks very bland by comparison.

    Exquiste! And a perfect shot.

    A thrillingly beautiful flower, captured by a talented photographer!

      We have the red species in our woods, but there are a few white with a red/pink center around the area. I have a yellow one in my garden that I bought at a nursery, but it flowers later. Lots of different species!

  9. A perfect picture. I have some on the mountain, but I need to be there at just the right moment.

  10. That’s a lovely flower…(Suzanne)

    There she is! We had a deep mauve trillium and a white trillium back in the day on Goose Pond. Lots of ladies’ slippers too. Then they were gone gone gone. In their place? Algae blooms and a salt silo on an expanded highway outside our 65 lakefront acres. Code enforcement allowing people to fill wetlands where loons would nest. My calls to the DEP? Resulted in them telling me these things weren’t happening. Yet I was witnessing them with my own eyes.

    So many unconscionable acts against mother nature. So I listen to audiobooks in my car, Robert Macfarlane, Brian Fagan, Craig Childs. And woven in their works are people working diligently toward the rights of rivers, the rights of nature. With some success, some failure. It’s just inconceivable to me that there are people who think somehow humans can go on, despite what we do to the environment that keeps us alive.
    We are driving ourselves off a cliff, straight into what Elizabeth Kolbert calls the sixth extinction. 😞😘🌴
    Thanks for appreciating this beautiful earth, Eliza.

      I hear you. The disconnect is astonishing and heartbreaking. For a supposedly smart species, humans are pretty stupid, IMO. How can they believe we are somehow above and not connected to this whole house of cards? Lemmings…

  14. Pretty to look at!

    So beautiful! I found a Jack-In-The-Pulpit here (in the Bogs) yesterday. I’ve never seen trilliums here.

  23. Eliza, your photo is breathtaking.

  24. Exquisite! Great angle to see the flower

  25. So pretty! I haven’t seen any here yet…
