Field Notes

Habitat:

These flowers grow on hillsides around creekbanks. As they age, they turn a beautiful pink.

Notes:

The trillium's growth cycle is very complicated. The seed requires about 80 days of cold to germinate in the first winter with initial shoots released in the second winter. It does not flower until about five years after germination. If the flower is picked, it will not come back for another year.
