@nisemikol I remember thinking when I first visited the Pacific Northwest - in terms of vegetation I thought “it’s like home, but everything is bigger!” Home being the Great Lakes region.

@Youngtounces@climatejustice.social you've got trillium too, eh? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised—there are so many subspecies, huge distribution.

Interestingly, you also have a species (on some islands in Lake Superior) otherwise native only to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest: Devil's club ([Oplopanax horridus](https://bit.ly/4lEjlF6)). Also very cool, and an iconic spring and summer character here, but quite a bit meaner than trillium 😳😁

@nisemikol Devil's club, that sounds ominous. How interesting!

@Youngtounces@climatejustice.social I have some coming up in my post queue—stay tuned 😉
