These trillium come up every Spring, reminding me of where I grew up in Northeastern NY State.

Are those lady slippers behind them?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Nope, but I wish they were;  those yellow flowers are California Poppies and the blue ones are Virginia Bluebells.

Very nice to see, we had triliums in the woods at our previous home in Washington state but here in North Dakota nothing is blooming yet.... pretty soon though!

A white trillium serves as the emblem and official flower of Ontario and is an official symbol of the Government of Ontario.
