People Still Dig Protected Bulbs

We still have those large sheets in various places in upstate NY, and they are indeed stunning to see. Where trilliums grow undisturbed, they grow very well. However, even here, where hunting provides significant parts of some people's diet, the deer are making inroads in the trilliums. Save a trillium - eat venison. :-)

Judy, your comment conjured up a fantastic image in my head. I can of course
only imagine what that must have been like. Trillium grandiflorum is a
beautiful species. What a shame it was that they were all destroyed. Really
sad.
