That is amazing. It looks like it is made of glass. (Our trilliums are finally blooming.)

We’ve had a little rain, just a little, and it was such a pleasure to be out in it! This bloom is just about at its end and the light rain completely saturated the petals. I can’t believe our trilliums were ahead of yours when everything else is behind!

Poor little thing looks drenched-but the wetness adds something unique to it, doesn’t it?

It does, Stacey. That’s a very unusual look for a trillium, partly because of the rain and partly because of the age of the blossom.

Is it normal see through, or is that because it is wet?
Don’t know if our painted trilliums are out yet, will look tomorrow.

That is an old blossom, having been originally white, then changed due to age to pink, then thoroughly soaked with rain. It’s the first one like it that I’ve seen.

Wow, translucent, like a tissue paper trillium. Very unusual, for sure!

I was surprised too. It must be due to the age of the blossom making it absorb the moisture. Photos of newer flowers that I took at that time didn’t have the same quality at all.

The translucency is very interesting.

I thought it was too. I had never seen one like that before. I took a photo of a younger one that was just as wet but it wasn’t translucent. It must be the age of the petals.

Most of the trilliums are about through blooming now in the lower elevations, but will continue on for several weeks as you go higher.
