My favorite sign that Spring has arrived in the PNW! This beauty is the Western Trillium, Trillium ovatum (Melanthiaceae). . You might also hear this plant being called a Wake-Robin, because its blooms coincide with the Robin’s appearance in the Spring. . The scientific name refers to the floral parts being in sets of 3’s, and the ovate (egg-shaped) appearance of the leaves. . Spring has sprung, and just like this flower, I am awake again! 🌿🌸🌼☀️ . #trilliumovatum #westerntrillium #melanthiaceae #botany #naturephotography #pnw #pnwonderland #plants #flowers #wildflowers #spring (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/pnw_botany/p/BvroefQH08M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ecpdohjxz5v
