Pink White Trillium

As the flowers of Trillium grandiflorum -- the Great White Trillium -- begin to decay, they turn pink. Seems that I always got to its habitat too early or too late to catch this phenomenon, but this spring I finally found a few. The pink starts out pale, and grows more intense with time. All the more saturated ones I found were looking pretty ragged, however.

Beautiful, fragile colors, very sharp in the larger version. I really like the DOF.
