Trillium

 The Trillium are still coming way early but the cold, freezing weather is play havoc with them.

This is the first white trillium I have seen which is odd because they usually are the most prevalent with only a few Purple ones.  I think this is a  Trillium grandiflorum, but it does not look so grand.  I think the flowers will be small because of the freezing nights

The last couple of days ...

 Brown Headed Cowbirds- He: you never keep quite   She:  Oh, shut up.

 The Trillium are have a very rough time. Snow is not a friend

This bloomed forth but to what avail?

Trillium currently

 This is the state of the Trillium for the other day.  The freeze has taken it's toll.

This guy is not unscathed but doing well.

Very cool morning

 It was very cool, not a frost, this morning which is probably why this Bloodroot lost it's pedals.

 Seeing this Purple Trillium was a HUGH surprise.  It must be mid May.

Even this trillium is ahead of it's time.  We will see what happens after the freeze tonight.
