Very nice shot of the trilliums! We have a lot of the white trilliums around here, but the nearest painteds I know of are about 50 miles away in the hills above the Finger Lakes; I used to photograph them every spring, but haven't been there for several years.

Thanks Chriss, they grow right next to our back lawn as we go into a trail that is woodland, last year we had one with 4 petals,I shall be looking to see if that one blooms this year.

Carol, How lucky you are to have Trilliums as they are not a common plants, and they demand a special environment. They love to flourish in woodlands with leafy shades, did you know they belong to the Lily Family. Thanks for sharing this beautiful image, I have enjoyed viewing Chriss:)
