i have never seen so many trilliums not in their natural habitat, deep in the woods. i took a picture of the one and only hosta that i dug up when i moved from my house into this townhouse. i left over 500 hostas at my home and bunches of money and heart left behind too when we sold it and moved on after divorce. it is a picture of kiwi full monty that i got from chris i think three years ago. it is coming back like gang busters in its container on the front porch.

The multitude of large ones are Trillium Grandiflorum. The smaller single pic is a Rue Anemone. They were rescued from other lots in the neighborhood before they get developed.

All those Trillium. Wow! I have a couple - also rescued before lots got developed, but only a few - nothing like that.
