Like a 4-leaf clover, this 4-petal trillium was blooming in WayzWoodz in 2005. You can see by the pink shading that this trillium is near the end of its bloom and 'starting to go'. I took its picture anyway.
This 100-acre woods, full to overflowing with millions of white trilliums, may even have another 4-petal one hiding among its friends, but I didn't see one this year from the trail. Don't like to go off trail, as their stems break too easily if they get stepped on.
Speaking of friends, Farmer Foster, near Bloomfield, has a 6-petal white trillium growing in his garden, and it comes back every year. He loves to show it.
