In April, these bloom in the highlands below 4500 feet, usually as far down as 2000 feet. We have all seven kinds. Beautiful shot. Magical flower.

That is the families of trillium, of which variants exist within each one. On a trail to Chestnut Top near the Townsend Wye in Blount County, Tennessee, there is a huge trillium display each April. We are host to the very rare yellow trillium. This flower is only found in the Smokies. Although there are other yellow trilliums, this one has the mottled leaves only found within the park. But yes, we have all seven kinds growing here. They are common around Cades Cove, even into Townsend and places like Carr's Creek and Kinzel Springs. Very showy flowers, indeed, trilliums are. But very short lived.

That it takes 10 years before it blooms is really interesting. Β I love learning facts like this. Β It is a beautiful plant.

It struck awe in me as well when I learned how fragile these flowers are. To see them blooming at the side of the trail is truly magical.
