Trilliums In April, trilliums appear Beneath the trees, within our wood. I watch for them this time, each year. I'd keep them always, if I could. They stand profusely everywhere. I try to walk so I won't tread Upon their blossomed heads, so fair And not disturb their forest bed. And as they age, they turn to pink. No other flower that I see, Appeals to me so much, I think. I take a few to press, with me. In these days still wet and cold, Three-petaled purity they show. They are a pleasure to behold. Grace the ground, whereon they grow! Betty Lou Hebert |

A lovely poem about a lovely flower. I was the recipient of a nice trillium plant for my birthday last summer. I planted it and it has come up and is a good sized patch. so I am eagerly watching and protecting it. love, Joyce |

pegasus111; I joined PIP 4 years ago in April and when it came to entering a password, I looked up and saw a bouquet of trilliums I had picked that morning, and that's how I got my name! Thanks! Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
