Trillium 2012

One of the treasures of the Oregon Coast is the native flowers that appear as if suddenly materialized in the forest. This Trillium is a rare flower, although abundant in the moist woods along the coast. This one lives in my atrium where several first appeared last year. Now, again, this year.

After about a month the flowers have transformed to a translucent pink and shortly afterward they are gone. The rhododendrons are now starting to pop. I'll keep you informed.
