One of the native, but less common species, in my area is Southern Nodding Trillium (Trillium rugelii). I took this picture about three weeks ago, when it just started to peak out from under a log.
The pictures below were taken yesterday! This fantastic wildflower has beautiful broad leaves.
It stands about a foot tall, on what looks to me like a scrawny little stem.
This particular specimen is a little unusual, as the flower typically hangs below the leaves, or nods, as its name suggests. This plant's flower must have gotten caught up on something when blooming. It seems to be catching some frass and seeds at the moment, as well!
