#WesternTrillium.
This is an older Western trillium, in urban forest. They're usually all white. As they get older(takes many years), you'll see shades of pink & purple petals.
Please never disturb Western trilliums in the wild. They are extremely sensitive native plants & need to be left alone to visually admire. Western trillium takes up to 15 years to flower. Once it has been picked/heavily disturbed, it dies. Please leave them growing 🙏

If you're in PNW & love sunflowers but have limited gardening space - I would recommend the native perennial #WoolySunflower aka #OregonSunshine. It's a miniature native sunflower - very easy to grow from seeds. They do well in pots or in the ground. Pollinators love their bright, cheery flowers 💛🐝💛🌼

I saw some pale lavender & almost all white camas flowers. Most camas I see here are the common deep purple colour. I love when I see colour variations of common #camas 😊
