 | Here's another spring wildflower encountered in Goldstream Park recently, our local species of Trillium, called Western Trillium (Trillium ovatum). Initially white, the flower turns this shade of purple as it ages. |

Gorgeous spring flowers! hope they don't all die w/ this cold snap we're having.
Oh how I loved to go searching for trilliums when I was a little girl living on Vancouver Island. It was such a thrill to find them as well as pussy willows and when I did I knew that spring had arrived.
Thank for post this as I have never seen a western trillium, I have been over dosing on the White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) which seems to have a much larger flower. Great photos Benjamin!
