Western trillium (Trillium ovatum)
Trilliums bloom brilliant white in spring and are among the most beautiful and best-known Northwest flowers. Their petals
turn purple with age.
These are growing in the shady mouth of a lava tube. The cave was created when a flowing river of lava crusted over,
following an ancient eruption of Mount Saint Helens.
