Looking good. The only area I know of is about an hr away. I got some a few years ago but they were hard to dig out of the rocky soil. Maybe I wasn't supposed to? I read later that people just cut them off. That would be a more sustainable way, but then I'd miss the bulb.
How do you folks harvest them? Anybody want to PM me with a tip for finding them near Wasaga??

Hardwoods and Trilliums, that exactly describes where I get mine.

I went to my usual area but found they're not quite "plumped up" yet, maybe another two weeks. Took some home and fried them in real butter, mmmmmmm.
On a lark took some home one year and planted a few patches in the back yard next to the raspberry patch. Never got a tase for them though. They come up every year.
