field? If so, you could be disrupting the distribution of this
species by collecting one. You will most certainly be disrupting
the gene pool. Other factors to consider -- is everyone coming out
to collect one? Will they come out once they see yours? >>
There is another factor... Trillium (in general) are hard to move. They hate
it. They are hard to start from seed and if the blossom is picked... the plant
may die or may wait a year or two to flower again. Best to avoid collecting
this one. Pot grown is best and survives better. Propagated stock is expensive
though. Best to save your money and do it the honest way.
Blessings of the Bursting Season!
