Nature Stinking Benjamin

Stinking Benjamin · **1 Like**

Trillium erectum -- red trillium, wake-robin, purple trillium, Beth root, or stinking Benjamin. Its a perennial, but although the plant shows up in early spring on the forest floor of Eastern U.S. deciduous forests, it vanishes by mid summer when the canopy has filled out. The flower is pollinated by flies and has a smell like rotten meat.

This was taken with the Pentax 100mm macro lens and an AF 200FG fill flash covered with a light orange gel.
