Red Trillium - Trillium erectum

10 days ago, none of these flowers had popped up yet and it felt like spring would never truly arrive. Thanks to some rain and a couple warm-ish days, I can finally say that the ephemerals are popping up.

Habitat: Mesic forest

*ID is for the trillium (three-leaved plant with drooping, red flower bud)
