Trillium, rain drops and pollen
It was late April of 2025 and my father and I were out for a drive. Given the time of year we decided to stop by a wildlife management area along the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia that we’ve visited in the past to see if the trilliums were in bloom, and were they ever! This is the largest display we’ve seen so far.
While driving we could see them in the forest all along both sides of the road, and when we arrived at the small and crowded dirt parking area there were flowers scattered all over the forest floor as far as you could see. Such a beautiful display. I often see photos of the wide fields of wildflowers further west and think how lucky those people are. But then I see things like this and realize we’re also very lucky. Nature is a wondrous thing.
