When driving back from town today, I noticed large patches of trilliums blooming in the ditches. The Great White Trillium are a favorite snack of deer and with my population of deer, I only found three great white trilliums blooming in my woods this afternoon. And the blossoms are about a third of the normal size as the deer have grazed them too many times which prevents the plant the ability to store energy in the roots. And it may take 10 years before the plant blossoms the first time and the deer just eats my trilliums.
Not So Great
