Trilliums

Found these beauties in the forest. 
 
I love trilliums, the official flower of Ontario.
 
There is a still a common belief that it is illegal in Ontario to pick white trillium flowers because of its status as the province's emblem.
While there is no such law, it is not advisable to pick the flowers because it takes so many years to produce one and the plant may take years to recover from the damage.
