Purple Trillium with Hepetica
50% of profits from ImageKind sales of this print are donated to Cancer Charities. Trillium are woodland plants found throughout North America and Asia, related to the Lily. These multi-hued purple specimens rise from three bracts on a strong stem. Note the variety of shape and color of the stamens. The seed capsule is between these, in the center of the flower. Hepatica are the smaller white blooms. Crawling on the central trillium bloom is a small beetle. Look on the outer margin of the upper petal.
