trilliums

Heather and I were clearing brush around the retreat cabin here the other day, preparing it for our honeymoon. And near the cabin under the trees Heather discovered some beautiful deep red trilliums. The flowers are just opening, so I imagine they'll still be around after the wedding.

The shape of the flower is striking. It reminds me of the Celtic trinity knot symbol that we chose for our wedding rings (thanks Mom and Dad for that gift!).
