Trillium have found a home in my gardens

These native plants are so unique looking. A few appeared a couple of years ago and they spread by rhyzomes.
They're also know as Toadshade (great name) and Wakerobin because they can be a harbinger of Spring, arriving earlier than the robins.

The roots of trillium, were used by various Native American tribes for medicinal purposes, including assisting in childbirth, treating menstrual disorders, and inducing childbirth.

Some modern herbalists still use trillium to help stop uterine bleeding and address other female health issues.

Trillium contains sapogenins, which have astringent, antiseptic, coagulant, expectorant, and uterine stimulant properties.

They're a welcome addition here, a part of my springtime.
