Trillium grows all over the woods around our cabin.
It’s an endangered plant in New York (and, indeed, much of North America) — I suppose because it does not reproduce easily, is not aggressive, and invites New Age herbalists to dig it up (shame on them). We are always thrilled to find this modest, delicate plant scattered around our woods.
Do you have any Trillium in your woods?

Lovely, indeed. Alas, we have no woods and no Trillium that I know of!
Well, I meant ‘your woods’ in general as in your local woods not necessarily woods you own. But they are pretty flowers.
Another reason why Trilliums are in trouble is that they are one of deer’s favorite foods. Given the way deer populations have exploded in the last few decades, it’s a wonder there are any left at all.
