It's early spring and Trillium is currently in bloom in our woods! Trillium is also called Birthwort because its roots were once used during birthing and for wound treatment.
Interesting Fact - Trillium blooms only for a few weeks in early spring, and it is during this time when it collects all the nutrients it needs to survive until the following year. Don't pick the blooms as it may take years to recover or may never recover.
Did you know that it takes a Trillium plant up to 10 years to produce its first flower?
