Indeed. A friend asked me this when I sent her a photo of the newly popped flowers. There is something very peaceful about them.
I put in a few nursery-raised bare-root plants several years ago and now have a nice little group. They are a sturdy little plant as long as you leave them alone. These are under one of my pawpaws, far enough away from foot traffic to be safe, but not so far that they are hard to see.
They broke ground about a month ago…
…and about a month from now they will fade, but beautifully. Trillium flowers go pink before they depart.
