Trillium


These flowers cover my woodsy backyard this time of year. I know that spring has officially arrived when I see them scattered among the the trees. They are usually in full bloom by L's birthday which is in 4 days. And FYI, they are illegal to pick.

Why are they illegal to pick? Are they endangered or something??

the spot where they get food is right under the petal, so if its damaged it takes years for them to recover and grow again.
