Trillium Sessile

Now that June has arrived, it is time to say goodbye to the trillium sessile, the most common trillium in Indiana.

It is beautiful already in its budding state, where the characteristic 3-fold symmetry is broken.

Like the four leaf clover, there is the rare exception of a quadrillium.

Here is the same plant in full bloom.

I have revisited the same spot in subsequent years, but haven’t seen it again. Some things are not meant for repetition.
