Fade to pink

It is not even mid-May, but so many of the wildflowers are on the wane. This white trillium is fading to pink as they do in their final days. We wait for so long for the wildflowers to appear, and we get so excited at the first spring ephemerals, the Bloodroot, for example, Bellwort, violets, and the the trilliums and Foamflower, but almost before you can turn around they are over and done with. With the heavy rains and strong winds of the weekend, many of the flowering trees have also lost their flowers. But at least there are some chokecherries and crabapples still in full flower, and the English hawthorn is just beginning to bloom (though the native hawthorns have finished).
