Once upon a time
there lived in a certain village a little country girl,
the prettiest creature who was ever seen.
Her mother was excessively fond of her;
and her grandmother doted on her still more.
This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her.
It suited the girl so extremely well
that everybody called her
Little Red Riding Hood.

"Little Red Riding Hood"
by Charles Perrault
The flower is a red Trillium
Love the story with pics. Gardens inspire the imagination.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post and photos, Rosemary. Thanks so much for the joy you bring.

ReplyDeleteLucky you Rosemary, to have this Little Red Riding Hood - sadly they fail in my garden. Lovely to see it.

Thank you Annie, it is a red Trillium :)
DeleteUna belleza!! Hermosa la flor, espectacular la fotografía y muy acertada la relación con el cuento de Perrault!!!!
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo grande y feliz semana.
Lovely photos Rosemary, I love trilliums, I don't have this particular one in my own garden but I have T. cuneatum and T. luteum.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is a Trillium erectum? She is a beauty :-)
Such a lovely story and beautiful pictures, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen Trillion before and they are very pretty but so shy with bowed heads. The colour is like deep red velvet.
ReplyDeleteWonderful flower and pictures! I love this story, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteHello Rosemary!

There are always great. I can watch them for hours!!
Flowers represent fantastic.

Really super Rosemary again. The tale of Little Red Riding Hood fits here really great at. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI will now always think of little red riding hood when I see a red trillium because of you. This is a big improvement because when I was a young child in Vermont, my sisters called them nosebleeds.
ReplyDeleteWonderful-wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the text and the photos!
What a magnificent flower this one is too so is the hyacinth!
Keep well and many thanks for your fidelity while I was away! ;-)
