There are lots of tropical flowers that I love but for now I want to pick a flower native to where I grew up.
This is a legally protected flower in BC, meaning it’s illegal to dig up wild trilliums or pick their flowers. This is because it can take between 7-15 years to flower, and if picked, it dies and has to start from scratch.
Aside from its distinct three-petal appearance, what I like about trilliums is that they grow in the forest, often with no other flowers in sight. So when you come across one on an hike, often with just a single flower or very small cluster, it’s always so striking.

Something so beautiful about the first flower of spring, tough enough to brave it out. I remember the feel of how furry they were when i’d pick them in the ravine behind my house growing up

Planted on purpose but they do grow natively in the wild… Yellow Honeysuckle (top) and Sweet Black-Eyed Susan (bottom). Every time I went out I had to smell them both they are so delightfully fragrant. And Moonflower/Datura of Erowid fame don’t do that… but she is so beautiful glamorous and mysterious and the blooms only come out at night
