These are probably one of the common trilliums of forests in central and western Ohio. As I was posting this, an idea popped into my head. I really should pose an American toad below the leaves of this little plant! Trillium sessile is really quite a descriptive scientific name, since the flower has no noticeable stalk whatsover- we botanists call this condidtion "sessile", although the latin name is pronounced SESSILEE.
That is just gorgeous. I'm loving all these spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and beautiful...by all means give us a toad, too!
