Long thick stem, large mottled green leaves, and a red flower on top. A few other trillium plants not in bloom next to it. Growing in the woods with brown leaves on the ground.
Side view of the same plant the next day with the flower more open.
The trillium called Little Sweet Betsy started blooming this week.

Four purple flowers plus two unopened buds. Flowers have six or seven petals, and a green and white starburst center. The leaves underneath them are variegated shades of green and reddish-purple. Some stems are smooth, others are hairy. The ground is brown, a mix of dirt and rocks.

Two plants behind a fallen branch, growing in the woods with fallen brown leaves on the ground. A cluster of white flowers with four petals each at the top of the stem with long, thin jagged leaves below the flowers. The leaves have "teeth" which explains the name along with the leaves looking cut.
Looking down on the flower head of one plant with its leaves and those of other plants below.
Cutleaf Toothwort wonders why it didn't get a more romantic name like Spring Beauty.

The fawn lilies are starting to come up. One of my favorite #SpringEphemerals … and edible too!

Umbrella plants with leaves with five deep lobes. Only the plants with two leaves will bloom.
And a colony of May Apples near the Dutchman’s Breeches. These have some more growing to do. Last year they started blooming in early April. #Wildflowers #SpringEphemerals

林床に咲き始めたニリンソウ。桜と同じで北海道と比べると一か月ほど早い開花。
Flaccid anemones (Anemonastrum flaccidum) are beginning to bloom on the forest floor. Like the cherry blossoms, they open about a month earlier here than in Hokkaido.🌼

Lovely to watch the Rue Anemone dancing. Those springy stems give them a life of their own, just as Ruskin said nature is never still for those who truly look.

A macro profile view of a single Yellow Trout Lily in the Big Thicket National Preserve. The sunlight captures the translucency of the vibrant yellow petals and the reddish-brown vertical stripes on their underside. The flower's long green stem and yellow-tipped anthers are in sharp focus against a soft, blurred background of fallen forest debris. Found in Martin Dies Jr. State Park / Big Thicket National Preserve.
A close-up, low-angle shot of three Yellow Trout Lilies blooming among fallen brown leaves in the Big Thicket National Preserve. The bright yellow petals curve elegantly backward, revealing delicate orange-yellow stamens. The foreground shows the distinctive green leaves with mottled, trout-like brown spots. In the background, a pinecone sits among the leaf litter, grounding the scene in a diverse forest floor. Found in Martin Dies Jr. State Park / Big Thicket National Preserve.
Stumbled upon an ancient colony of Yellow Trout Lilies - Erythronium Americanum. There were hundreds packed into a tiny 100 sq. ft. area. Due to their very slow spread, this patch may be older than me

A group of white flowers with five petals and pink anthers. An unopened bud to the right. Leaves are long and grass-like. Growing in fallen leaves.
Three flowers with intense pink stripes. Most spring beauties look like the ones in the first photo and these pink ones are a color variation.
Today was the day that the Spring Beauties opened all over the woods. They were everywhere. Quite a few pink ones too! And lots of bees visiting the flowers. #Wildflowers

This shows why Rue Anemone are also called Windflowers.
It wasn’t windy yesterday! These flowers have springy stems and are almost always moving.

Lacy green leaves with the breeches-shaped white and yellow flowers on stems above the leaves. Growing in the woods near the river.
A closer look at a row of the flowers dangling from the arched stem. Upside down pants aka breeches.
Dutchman’s Breeches are blooming! I was a little worried about these because they are rare in my area and grow in a place that got flooded last summer. It was great to see them.

White flower with yellow center above a jagged lobed green leaf. Growing in the woods.
Another bloodroot flower and leaf in a sunbeam in the woods.
Each Bloodroot plant has one flower and one unique leaf. The leaf is wrapped around the bud when they emerge and then they both open. The flowers last only a day or two, but the leaves keep growing for weeks along with the seedpod. #Wildflowers

A Round-lobed Hepatica flower with a wave-shaped brown leaf behind it. Six purple petals with a green and white center.
These hepatica flowers are tiny but easy to spot because the color pops next to the fallen brown leaves.

Three trout lily plants clustered together with closed flowers that are mostly reddish-purple with a bit of yellow showing. Mottled green leaves like trout. Growing in fallen brown leaves.
Same group of plants with the flowers open. Bright yellow petals that look windswept and dangling red stamens.
Trout lily flowers close at night and are sometimes still closed on cloudy mornings. #wildflowers #SpringEphemerals

Three purple wildflowers growing in the woods. The hair on the stems protects them from winter cold since they start blooming in February.

Three dangling flowers with yellow and reddish purple petals on thin bare stems with mottled leaves on the ground. Growing in fallen brown leaves.
Same plants from a different angle
Each trout lily plant has one flower and two leaves, so this is three plants growing very close together. They can form large colonies in the right conditions, and some colonies are hundreds of years old. #wildflowers
