I'm sure that half of Jackson County heard me squeal when I found trillium on my property this week. When you have a new place, there are a lot of new things to discover as the seasons progress. Spring is particularly full of these new discoveries, and finding spring ephemerals is one of the very best things that most of us hope to discover.

| Trillium cuneatum |
Even though the flower is not yet open, I'm fairly confident this is Sweet Betsy trillium (Trillium cuneatum). I had it at my previous house naturally, and I did not bring any of it with me because I knew I could probably get it on a rescue or from a friend. Finding it already on the property means I might get some other cool things popping up. This is rich soil here.
Get out there and see what spring is bringing you. It is a season for squealing, for sure.
