Spring on the Oregon Coast is a magical time. The storms of Winter have come and gone leaving us in wide eyed wonder as the sunappears and the urge to get out and walk around is overwhelming. Now we can do this while enjoying the occasional rain shower. On the walk we may be greeted with one of the most spectacular signs of Spring, the blooming of Trillium Ovatum or Wake Robin. These flowers colonize in shady areas that were once forest floor. Since our coast was all forest floor not long ago, the chances of havingborders full of Trilliums is very good. They will appear near and under last year’s fronds of the sword ferns and along shady road sides. Trilliums resent picking and transplanting so the time to enjoy is the few weeks when they are in full bloom and when they turn a light purple you will know that this season’s bloom is about done. This is just one of the treasures of the Oregon Coast.

This year, I finally got to see another species of Trillium in the redwoods. Apparently, it’s habitat reaches into southern Oregon near the coast.
chloropetalum
Has upright petals – somewhat red – with bigger leaves.
ovatum is very nice too
