Wild Trillium

Item Wild Trillium. TRILLIUM is any of several species of flowering plants of the lily family, Liliaceae. The plant’s name comes from the Latin word for three. The blossoms of trilliums have three petals, three sepals’ six stamens, a three-celled ovary, and a cluster of thee leaves. A solitary flower blooms above the cluster of leaves. Trilliums are woodland plants native to North America and Asia. They grow in damp, shaded areas. About 30 different species are known. Some bloom in early spring before the robins come. Thus the name wake-robin is given to them. Image was captured using a Nikon D800 with a Nikon 105mm lens. 0.4 second @ f11, ISO 100.
