***About Trillium grandiflorum:

*** Trillium grandiflorum, commonly known as white trillium, is a perennial flowering plant native to North America. Predominantly found in the woodlands of eastern Canada and the United States, this species is notable for its striking three-petaled white flowers, which bloom in early spring. Each flower emerges from the center of three broad leaves that form a triple whorl around the stem. As the official emblem of the province of Ontario, white trillium holds cultural significance and is often associated with purity and elegance. Despite its robust appearance, the plant needs to mature for several years before it can produce flowers, and therefore, it is sensitive to disturbance and over-picking, making its preservation important for maintaining biodiversity in forested ecosystems.
