Trillium Candle - lily of the valley, petrichor
The Trillium Trail is a beautiful quarter mile connector trail between Firelane 7 and mile marker 18.5 on the Wildwood Trail. In early Spring, trillium, a low-growing woodland three petaled wildflower (part of the lily family), are abundantly exhibited in bloom around damp wooded areas, such as around this section of trail. Depending on the species and conditions, it can take 4-15 years for a trillium to produce its first flower, and only has one blossom each year. Because they have become so rare, and are difficult to grow, most are protected and illegal to pick in their wooded habitats. After their white petals bloom in the spring, they turn light purple, go dormant and die back to the ground for next year.
It is the flower we anticipate most after the long winter, especially in the Pacific Northwest. To bring the excitement and hopefulness of Spring into bloom, we combined the essence of planting fresh bulbs in the soil after rain, with floral notes of lily of the valley and lilac, topped with a bit of ozone and green leaves. The vibrant yellow pollen of the trillium inspires the ochre colored label.
