It seems that others are bothered by the deer eating them, then again I'm not sure if the just eat the flower or the whole stem as well.
Come to think about it I did see many in one area that had no flowers-I thought it was too early for them on the hill-but now you got me thinking about that one.
We have so many I guess I don't miss the ones the deer eat probably.

We have the Trillium here in the Redwood and Douglas fir forests of the northwest corner
of California as well. They are pretty much done blooming for this spring.

If I remember correctly Trillium was a traded commodity on the original Star Trek series.

Close. They had Trellium-D, and also trilithium. Don't remember any trillium though. Gary

I believe Trellium was supposedly a mined ore, Spock described trillium as "a medicinal plant of the lily family".

The adoption of an official flower for Ontario grew out of a movement during the First World War to choose a national floral emblem appropriate for planting on the graves of Canadian servicemen overseas.

The white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum), also known as the wake-robin and the white lily, was officially adopted as Ontario’s floral emblem in 1937. It was recommended by a special committee of botanists to the Ontario Horticultural Association. In a British botanical work published in 1760 there is a reference to the trilliums as “the herb True Love of Canada.”

The floral emblem of Ontario, the white trillium
Found in the forests and woodlands of Ontario, the white trillium blooms in late April and May. The blooms are very sensitive to light, and the white flowers usually bend toward the sun as it moves across the sky. Contrary to popular belief, it is not illegal to pick a white trillium in Ontario. However, picking the flower can seriously injure the plant and it can take years to recover.

Thanks for proving that important information RC, especially the fact that it could take years for the plant to recover.

It can take a single Trillium 7 to 8 years to produce a flower.

Hard to see a trillium around my area.
Thee is a roadside park they thrive on some edges of.
For what ever reason , deer like them here.
Possibly deer numbers , though not high by any means in that area. Don't recall a track spotted there let alone a deer.

But a flower that does not tolerate browsing or being molested, takes little to curtail the success of.

Lady slippers are scarce here too.
Used to find /see them as a child among the many miles of walking outdoors.
And a friend used to transplant them successfully.

Law or not , as a youth it was made clear they were to be admired , but left alone.
Fair enough. For thier sakes.
