(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Trillium
April 16th, 2008 . by JoyceALMOST
This is an ALMOST Wordless Wednesday post, because I want to tell you a little about this special plant. I believe that this TRILLIUM is a Trillium ovatum, a native plant here in the Pacific Northwest. According to the Sunset New Western Garden Book, this spring-blooming plant is a member of the lily family.
I anticipate the appearance of this particular trillium each Spring, on the forested side of our driveway. From what I’ve heard, trilliums do not transplant well, so I just leave it alone and admire it from a distance.
Do any of you have this type of trillium growing in your area?
We have trilliums here, but then we aren’t all that far from you.
I have always loved trilliums. They are one of my favorite flowers. They are simple, but somehow I still find them interesting..
And I have transplanted one. It grew very nicely in my old yard and was still coming back every year when we moved.
Thanks for letting me know, Kerri. Now I want to try transplanting a trillium. Oh, fun!

I’ve never seen trillium growing in my neighborhood, but you’re the 2nd post I’ve seen with this plant recently. Methinks it may be too warm and/or dry in my part of the USA for this plant.
Hugs and blessings,
