Trillium - Nature Study area.

Trilliums lots of different types some protected some common. I remember when I seen my first one. At my dads looking at his land and walking threw the little patch of woods he has in back.  he received a lot of ditch dirt years back as he is building up his low areas of land. Well a trillium must of been in there as I seen a wild one growing in the woods. I fell in love and watch for that flower every year. it's still comes up i think it's a bit over grown back there now.

I always hike too and if you hiked before in some spots you have these little fenced in areas that are nature studied to see the impact that deer have on the population. I never ever noticed much if any difference on those things until this year.

Not sure how well you can see but if you look at the little white flowers those are Trilliums. There are a few on the outside area. as I seen when I hiked. But WOW the amount of those flowers in that area hands down is amazing.  such a difference so many of them. I wonder how good they taste to those deer and if they are edible to humans.


Edit:
so I had to see if they are able to be digested by human. And Native Americans use the baby leaves that haven't opened into their foods I guess it taste like my favorite seed. Sunflowers. yummy. might have to try this one day.  even tho you can't pick them in the wild I have my own land i just want a nibble a little.

There is also some medical reasons this was used for. from different parts of the plants from helping menstruation umm helps cramps to. awe this little gem is a sacred female herb.. cool.
