Saw my first Trillium of the season. I find them in the ditches off the Becks Road. They are so beautiful! I know God made them just for me! I have seen more of them in Wisconsin but I see that they are not protected in that state.Picking Trillium for their flower can seriously injure the plant. The three leaves (more correctly leafy bracts) below the flower are the plant's only ability to produce food stores and a picked trillium can take many years to recover. For this reason in many areas, e.g. British Columbia, Michigan[1], New York, Minnesota,[2] and Washington, it is illegal to pick and/or transplant trilliums from public lands without a permit from the State.
