Here is my April post featuring photos of the western trillium when it had white petals . now the petals are deep purple in this photo. It was fun watching this flower change over a 2 month period of time on the walks, and last we looked, someone had plucked the flower, leaving the stem behind.

The changing colour of similar flowers has inspired poetry, as in the following exerpt from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream: (Act 2: Oberon):
Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound.
