#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 ๐Ÿ™

#SilentSunday

Pink purslane, trailing blackberry, wild strawberry native plants, growing out of a fallen, moss covered logs. Behind the logs, there's lots of vanilla leaf, licorice & lady ferns, thimbleberry, huckleberry, salmonberry, Oregon grape, currants, Kinnikinnick & salal plants.
So much edible native plants in a small portion of a forest ๐Ÿ’š

#DeathCamas are in their early bloom stage. Only one specialized miner bee can feed upon it - it's toxic to other pollinators, herbivores & human consumption. Gorgeous native plant but it is deadly if eaten.
