WE don't get the large white trillium's here in the north.  These are the burgundy red ones that are about an inch and a half across.  These flowers remind me of the trinity.

Great shots of the trillium, Judy.  Here they are "protected" and it's forbidden to pick or transplant them, or do anything other than enjoy seeing them.

We have been told that as well, but we have done research through Ministry of resources as well as police and there is no such law.  It is an urban legend that has been handed down through the ages.

I love the trilliums.

I believe that it is only the white trillium that is not to be transplanted here in Ontario.

Ruth there is nothing in the laws federally or provincially on that.  John  when he was on the force checked it out and we have had a MNR friend check as well. 

I am looking to get some shots of the White ones.  Guess I will have to travel south!
