The feral pigs problem is no joke. They have devastated our regional, state and conservation areas in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of the parks allows open hunting most of the year. ( Very disconcerting for a hiker).
Our parkway along a water canal looks exactly like her environment there. When the wild boar smell the flowers, planted beautifully in the different neighborhoods, they will trot in groups, up to 10 and then roto-till meadows and gardens with their snouts. They eliminate flower and veggie gardens and then snooze off their feast afterwards. There is no predator for them. I have heard that a Jack Russell Terrier is able to chase them away but wild boar have tusks. They will instinctively attack hunters. Good luck Trilliums.
If ever in N. GA in Spring at the Hambridge Center visit their Trillium Trail, it has the largest masses of Trillium and other wildflowers i've ever seen. Various kinds of Trillium, May Apples, Ground Iris just cover the forest floor sometimes as far as you can see. Then you also see the occasional jack-in-the-pulpit, soloman's seal, wild ginsing, and other wild flowers. They do a monthly guided wild flower tour, but in April they will do a special spring wild flower guided tour. They're trying to figure out how to commercial grow ginsing, but it's a hard to plase plant and a long-term investment. Also mayapples are used for medicinal purposes, the active ingredient in those are the active ingredient in "Doan's Pills" and now being investigated as a cancer treatment.
So enjoyed this, never saw some of the species shown. The close ups of the flowers are especially appreciated, along with the questions asked, some were also what I was wondering! Omg pig tanks....don’t think any in NJ?! Thank you 🌱
Amy Hyland certainly knows her Trilliums! I had no idea there were so many varieties. Summer, have you come across Suzanne Simard, Prof of Forest Ecology (University of British Columbia)? An interview with her was recently broadcast on the BBC World Service, and it was fascinating. Her primary research over the years has centred on the complex mycorrhizal/tree-root networks below the forest floor, their incredible dynamics & role in tree intercommunication regarding exchange of nutrients & chemical messaging ~ to bolster immunity from pest predation etc.
I'm in the rocky mountains, just saw my first trillium the other day, always a happy day! I'm jealous of your variety, we just have just white and purple varieties of T. ovatum. They are harbingers of morels though.
Very interesting. Over 45 yeas ago we took a few trilliums from the bush at the farm and put them in Dad's forest floor garden where they have multiplied and still grow today. We should not have taken them I know now.
Hello, Summer Rayne, this is such a lovely plant! This is the first time I've ever seen it! Such a wonderful thing that the Center is doing to ensure it continues on!! Thank you for the tour!!!
Thank you for the wonderful tour, the information about trilliums, and for the opportunity to see people behind the scenes making the conservation happen!
In its "Native" Habitat sounds like what you have now, with "Natives"! People are what cause the Deer and the Wild Pig to avoid an Area, so likely in the Past these plants followed People! :)
the best video I have ever seen regarding trillium. My favorite wildflower hands down. thank you so much
I just saw hundreds of trilliums on Monday in WNY and had no idea what they were but I knew that they were special. I'm so thankful for this video!
I have done trips to visit No Michigan just to see the incredible sweeps of trilliums. ( My fav was their glow in the night sky park)
She is so lovely. Everything will come alive and grow around her.
"Who let out the pigs?!" I love Summer Rayne Oakes!

Amy was a lovely guide - thank you Summer

Very interesting segment. The Trillium is the Provincial flower of Ontario. They're such a beautiful flower
And they are protected and illegal to pick.
Enjoyed this. Growing up in Ontario, Canada we had Trillium growing in our backyard. ❤️

What a beautiful plant and such a joy to watch Amy talk so passionately about them. 🌱

ooooh! I've got to look this up!!
The soil,
the trees communicating,
the mycorrhizal connections!!!
It's all so very fascinating!
@@gardengatesopen You bet!
Hidden gems of the forest.
Amazing! We have a lot of Trillium on our current property … nick name of the variety is Sweet Little Betsy. Thank you for the video.
can't wait for your spring garden tour

Always love trilliums in spring, great info, thanks for sharing!!!
Nice!😊
My college has a wooded area with trillium and a lot of other native ephemerals and perennials, they are so beautiful and signify spring to me.
So beautiful xx
Hello, Summer Rayne, this is such a lovely plant! This is the first time I've ever seen it! Such a wonderful thing that the Center is doing to ensure it continues on!! Thank you for the tour!!!
Thank you!
Lovely flower. I learned a lot.
I'm a huge trillium fan so yes I absolutely enjoyed the video and loved the information you shared...I have four different trillium in my garden.
I really love learning this stuff !!! Such cool information ❤️
Thank you for the wonderful tour, the information about trilliums, and for the opportunity to see people behind the scenes making the conservation happen!
I used to see these every spring in TN. I didn't realize there were so many species though. A very informative video!
Thanks for sharing 🙂☺️
Love it!
No native hogs on the east coast?
Suggestion: do a feeding video of your fish room
Me first !
Who let out the pigs??? 😂😂😂
I should have said, "Who let the pigs out?!?! Woot, woot, woot, woot."
@@FlockFingerLakes it was an epic and genuine question, I love it because you read my mind!
