        I'm already looking forward to early spring here in the Southeast as I hope to find some more rare species! <3

        My favorite Trillium so far (that I have observed) are Trillium luteum and Trillium decumbens!

              It is pretty common, but it always wows me! :)

              The other two are Vulnerable/rare species.

              P.S. Really enjoying your flowers if you couldn't tell!               Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

              Oh - are you not not allowed to hike in those areas now? I have still been able to hike, but currently am only able to hike in CT. Leaving the state would mean a 2-week quarantine. Posted 8 months ago
