Marin CNPS reports
The Giant Trillium at bottom of Steep Ravine trail (along creek up from Highway 1) are blooming and has anyone else ever noticed: they smell to me faintly of Plumeria. They are a sight and smell to behold. Please be careful treading near them, as they and associated plants are quite delicate.
Also “Milk-maids” one of the earliest forest ground flowers, taste like a Radish–must be a wild relation?

I’ve noticed the Giant Trillium smell sweet too. Yes, Milkmaids is a Brassica, related to radish, mustard, cabbage, etc.
