Nicely done- I like the way the flower shows up so well against the green leaf. This looks different than the trillium we get here. Ours are deep purple (called "Red", or white with a pinkish center, called "Painted")....but not in the JB sense. ;).Also known as "Wake Robin"- a name I really like.

We also have large flowered white trillium and snow trillium with the flower on top of the leaves instead of underneath like this one. There is also one like this one called a drooping trillium that usually has its flower above.

Nice contrast of the flower against the dark green -- I like it.

Beautiful rendering. I wish, though this was more of a close up of the flower against the leaf. Nice work, jerry

I like the softness of the flower against the strong colour and form of the leaf! This is one that benefits from being viewed against the dark surround.
