  Yes! And, some kind of white fuzz near the top, which could be a bug or else maybe cottonwood fluff. I didn't notice either while taking the photo though. It was so dark in this forest. Posted 4 years ago

  Yes, I love Trillium! This patch of nodding trillium was past prime, but I thought it was cool how the petals had become translucent. Posted 4 years ago
