Trilliums are here

I'm traveling this morning so I thought it would be a good time to post my 2012 trillium photos. The early spring has brought out these beauties at the earliest time since I moved to Morton Grove.

All of these photographs were taken within a few feet of each other in Linne Woods.

The most common trillium in the Chicago area is the white trillium

A few more blossoms.

And finally a red trillium. The speckled leaf coloring makes up for the less attractive bloom.
