Earth is Crammed with Heaven...: Green trillium (Trillium viridescens)

To God’s elect. . .who have been chosen

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,

through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,

for obedience to Jesus Christ

and sprinkling by his blood.

1 Peter 1:1-2.

Danna said...: We had purple trillium in our yard in CT. one day my kids made the mistake of bringing one in for me and putting in a vase. I spend the next day looking for something that had died in the house until we read in our guide that these flowers can smell like rotting meat!! We still laugh over that!!; 2:03 AM
