Trillium comes from the latin word, Trillix or triple, because all parts of this plant are tripartite. The white flowered variety was preferred by Native Americans for treating sore nipples, inducing labour, and controlling postpartum hemorrhage.

Dear Lara - Thank you Doctor Spock - next time i get sore nipples I will know where to look. Personally, this composition doesn't really work all that well for me as it is neither a macro nor and entirely stunning design. But advice for my nipples is terrific - so thanks. LOL

Artist Reply: LoL, John, my dear darling friend may I first thank you for being so forthright and then secondly say that i am not taking these to be stunning works of art. I am just working on some normal boring stock photography in the herb category, and also schooling much needed folk like yourself on nipple health :) I know how much of a problem it is over there in that dry Australian weather. LMAO. Hugs, Lara

Artist Reply: Thank you! They usually pop up in the grass but are damaged or they don't grow this large (around here anyway). This one was in the woods so it was untouched.
