After living at Bow Narrows Camp for 51 years, we finally discovered trilliums growing right in the yard!
It's like the story of the man who sold his farm to become a diamond prospector. The new owner then notices the rocks in the farmer's fields are actually diamonds.
That's the way I felt when I saw my first trillium by one of the cabins. What else have I been missing all these years?
These are Nodding Trilliums, also called Nodding Wakerobin and Whip-poor-will flower.
Incidentally, never pick a trillium flower as it can kill the plant.
The White Trillium is Ontario's provincial flower. It is proudly displayed on everything from licence plates to driver's licences.
All trilliums are rare.
