Another photo of the Western Trillium, Trillium ovatum, taken on Padden Ridge in Lake Padden Park.

The Western Trillium is common but always a welcome sign of spring. This example was photographed in Lake Padden Park near Bellingham, Washington, while on a spring hike there with my wife and youngest son.

As its common name, Wakerobin, indicates, this is a spring wildflower at lower elevations, but at Lake Serene in late July it was just emerging and flowering and it was nice to see it in mid-summer, especially when most of the wildflowers were already finished.

This is the Western Trillium, Trillium ovatum, photographed in the Leavenworth, Washington, area, but near the end of its season. The flowers are white but take on these red-purple tones as they begin to fade, turning completely purple just before falling off. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/05/orchid-hunting-in-leavenworth-area.html

In Explore May 4, 2013, #449. Besides some Salmonberry flowers and some Skunk Cabbage, the only wildflowers we saw on our hike to Fragrance Lake were these Trilliums, Trillium ovatum, and we did not see very many of them. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-wet-walk-...
