Large White Trillium — Vintage Botanical Print · Ohio Natural History Series
$29.00
Ohio's state wildflower carpets the spring woods in white — but slowly. A trillium takes about seven years from seed to first bloom, and it hires its gardeners: ants carry the seeds home for their oily handles, eat the handle, and plant the rest. Every April drift of trillium is decades of patient work by the forest floor.

Available at 12×18 and 18×24. This plate is not offered at 24×36: the surviving original does not carry enough detail to print honestly at that size.
