Trillium Nivale - The Snow Trillium

This watercolor, created for Cottage Lake Gardens​, features Trillium nivale, the Snow Trillium. Trillium nivale is a tiny little trillium, native to the Great Lakes states. It blooms so early in the spring, that sometimes there is still snow on the ground.

Cottage Lake Gardens in Woodinville, Washington is a remarkable place - one of the only places in the world where you can see all 48 of the world's trillium species growing in one location! I've painted a number of trilliums for Cottage Lake Gardens over the past several years. For more information, visit www.cottagelakegardens.com
