Meet Frank
Okay, so I don't think he looks much like a Frank either… but out of respect for his rightful owner who gifted him to me, I wouldn't feel right about changing his name. So Frank it is. My thinking is he is too beautiful to be a Frank… actually too beautiful to be a male flower… or at least a straight male flower… so I'm going to assume Frank is actually gay, which is even better! He couldn't be any more fabulous, right! Pack me up and take me to New York City! He is my very first Trillium - and I'm so happy to see he already has a bloom. This flower has to wait 7 whole years before getting its first bloom. But now that he has it… forevermore it will be! Trillium is native to this area, which seems so obvious. It just screams Appalachia to me. I'm completely in love. Really. I cleared an entire part of my garden just in Frank's honor. Truly divine. My garden can officially be called complete. I've actually been stressing a little bit this
