In search of wildflowers on a Sunday afternoon walk. Looking for leaves of three, but not the bad kind. When you spot the signature 3 leaves of the low trilium plant, you have to bend down to see the 3 petals of the flower hanging below.
And when you spot some purple-green leaves low to the ground, you have to raise them up to discover the row of little pigs underneath.
Unlike the showy tulips or bright daffodils, wildflowers in the woods are more subtle, but well worth the walk or hike to find them.
