If you walk the low lying areas of the Viviry Watershed at this time of year, you’ll see many trilliums. Most are white, but you might also see a less common species known as the Red Trillium.
When you see one of these plants, admire its beauty from a distance. The Red Trillium is pollinated by flies and not bees. To attract flies, it emits a foul smelling scent similar to rotting meat.
Here is a Red Trillium photographed today at Driscoll-Naylor.
