As I’ve been looking back at some of my unweeded photo sets on my hard drive, I realized that I have hundreds of unsorted, unedited photos of various types of trillium. I love seeing trillium in the woods in the spring, so I’m not sure why I’ve never looked closely at some of the photos I’ve taken of trillium. I’ve decided it’s time to sorting, weeding and editing some of them. So today I’m sharing some of my photos of Bent Trillium and Catesby’s Trillium.
Bent Trillium – trillium flexipes
Trillium Flexipes – known commonly as Bent Trillium, Nodding Trillium, Nodding WakeRobin Trillium – is native to much of the eastern U.S. Like other trilliums, it tends to bloom in the early spring in the woods. I have photographed Bent Trillium in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

Catesby’s Trillium – trillium catesbaei
Trillium catesbaei – commonly known as Catesby’s Trillium, Bashful trillium or Bashful Wakerobin – is native to Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Like other trilliums, it blooms in the early spring in the woods. Once the Catesby’s Trillium has been pollinated, the petals change from white to pink. I’ve photographed Catesby’s Trillium in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

In early April I was able to return to a couple of my favorite local spots to photograph wildflowers. We’d had some pretty bad weather – cold, rain, wind and even a few snow squalls – so I wasn’t sure what I’d fine. I was really happy to see the even with all the challenging weather – the wildflowers were blooming – and looking absolutely wonderful.
Here are a few more photos from Bull Run Regional Park in Virginia and the C&O Canal National Park in Maryland.

As I was looking through the huge (and I do mean huge) pile of photos that I haven’t weeded, much less edited or shared on my hard drive – I found some of my wildflower photos from my trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from last spring. One of the challenges of taking lots of photos – is that I always feel like I’m behind on sharing my photos
So today I thought I’d share a few of my wildflower photos from last spring. I don’t have enough good photos of the flowers to do a separate blog post for each type of flowers – so am combining a few of them into one post
Wild Bleeding Hearts – dicentra eximia – is a delicate member of the Poppy family. I know a couple spots in the park where these bloom each year – if you look closely at some of my photos of wild bleeding hearts from the Smokies – you’ll see that many of them were taken in the same general area.

Fire Pinks – silene virginica – are about the only bright red spring wildflowers so it’s fairly easy to spot on the trails and roadsides. The challenge with fire pinks is finding them in good enough shape to photograph. The flowers are very delicate so it’s not uncommon to see pretty ratty looking Fire Pinks.

Yellow Trillium – trillium luteum – is one of the wildflowers that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known for. Native only to Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Kentucky, I try to photograph them every time I’m in the park – since it’s the only time and place I’m likely to see them.

I haven’t had a chance to edit up any of these photos for sale yet – but I do have a number of other wildflower photos available, including several from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You can see which of my wildflower photos are available as matted prints or gallery wrapped canvases in the Wildflower Gallery on my website.

White Trillium © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – White trillium – trillium grandiflorum – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
The White Trillium (trillium grandiflorum) are one of the earliest trilliums to bloom in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee each spring. Which means most years – they’ve finished blooming by the time I get there in mid-April. This year, I finally got to photograph some amazing white trillium. I photographed this beautiful trillium in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest in the mountains of North Carolina.
This photograph is available as a 10 X 10″ or 20 X 20″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order White trillium – trillium grandiflorum from my website.

Trilliums are some of my favorite spring wildflowers. I’m always on the lookout for new-to-me varieties to photograph – and to photograph favorite varieties in new ways. Last spring, I found several Bent Trillium (Trillium flexipes) to photograph at the Crockford Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area in North Georgia. I’d heard about Pigeon Mountain from Gerry Williamson (@USWildflowers on Twitter). It’s a wonderful place to visit (and photograph). This was my favorite photo of the Bent Trillium that I took that morning.
