Thanks jrb1213, I love these trillium's also, they grow over most of my property here in the mountains. I have been thinking about digging some up and making a flower bed with them. Thanks too, I had been spelling it wrong. Never looked them up, I just had been told what they were.

Thanks for looking.

Hi lacsar :) I think you should take more breaks in the rain and post more lovely pictures like these.lol..especially like the Rose Breasted Grosbeak..thankyou, here is a little more information.. :thumbup:

The adult male in breeding plumage has a black head, wings, back and tail, and a bright rose-red patch on its breast; the wings have two white patches and rose-red linings. Its underside and rump are white. Males in nonbreeding plumage have largely white underparts, supercilium and cheeks. The upperside feathers have brown fringes, most wing feathers white ones, giving a scaly appearance. The bases of the primary remiges are also white. :thumbup:

Thanks Robbie7, I enjoy watching the birds and the Grosbeak is one on my favorite ones. We have at least two males and two females that visit my deck.

Thanks for looking.
