Trillium

by Louise Glück

When I woke up I was in a forest. The dark seemed natural, the sky through the pine trees thick with many lights.

I knew nothing; I could do nothing but see. And as I watched, all the lights of heaven faded to make a single thing, a fire burning through the cool firs. Then it wasn’t possible any longer to stare at heaven and not be destroyed.

Are there souls that need death’s presence, as I require protection? I think if I speak long enough I will answer that question, I will see whatever they see, a ladder reaching through the firs, whatever calls them to exchange their lives —

Think what I understand already. I woke up ignorant in a forest; only a moment ago, I didn’t know my voice if one were given to me would be so full of grief, my sentences like cries strung together. I didn’t even know I felt grief until that word came, until I felt rain streaming from me.

🌱 🐜 🪽🌿✨// white trillium & ants // gouache on hot press paper

part of my natives + pollinators series. white trillium are a delicate spring ephemeral native to the eastern US. they bloom in the early spring in woodlands, soaking up the sunlight on the forest floor for a few weeks before the canopy grows in. tiny ants help pollinate them for the 4-ish weeks they're in bloom, and spread their seeds on the forest floor.

Trillium ovatum and Trillium erectum (Pacific trillium and red trillium)

They say good things come in threes.

Trillium at Jessup's Falls Conservation Area

In the heart of Jessup's Falls Conservation Area, this remarkable display of nature's delicate balance unfolds each spring. Here, the forest floor becomes a canvas painted with the white petals of Trillium flowers. This serene tableau is a testament to the enduring beauty of our natural ecosystems, inviting us to pause and appreciate the quiet majesty of the unfolding spring.

I try to visit every year and I have to say that this year was the best just from the sheer number of flowers; it was Trilliums as far as the eyes can see.

I used a low and close-up perspective, to emphasize the flowers in the foreground, making them appear large and prominent. The angle also helped convey the density and expanse of the floral carpet behind the main subject. Shallow depth of field helped isolate the large flower in front.

‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. Queer Flora Tank Presale ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚.

I've been ideating this design for a whole year, I'm glad to say it's finally being printed AND by a studio I completely trust to rock it! (I worked in Flash Flood Print Studio's art department for nearly 4 years haha) But Now! Queer Flora is here! Queer Flora showcases an arrangement of flowers that have been historically associated with queer signaling and pride. This design from left to right includes Lavender, Lilies, Trillium, Violets, Carnations, Orchids, Pansies, and Roses. For the first printing we chose a split fountain in Trans colors (light blue, white, and pink), and it's on a soft Bella Canvas Slate Blue Tank top. If the design does well, I am hopeful for more cool things down the line :Oc ! Link to presale in upcoming reblog as well as some history on each flower's relation to queer pride! ❀

Trillium!

Red trillium - New River Gorge, West Virginia

In case you didn't know, it takes 2 years for a trillium to germinate and another 5 to 7 years for it to bloom.

Take a breath; there's no rush. Maybe you're a trillium, too--

Still growing your roots.
