Trilliums - so called for the three petals and three leaves - love to grow in shady areas along streams. The Californian varieties smell quite sweet, unlike [I am told] some of the East Coast species, which probably attract flies and vultures.
They are so pretty that many people want to pick them. Unfortunately, picking parts off a trillium can kill the plant, even if the roots are left undisturbed. So enjoy their beauty outdoors, and let them live.
