Red Baneberry - Actaea rubra *Tentative ID*<br />
<br />
I thought it was wild leek, but they don&#039;t bloom until the leaves die back and early May would be too soon for that. So, my second thought would be Panax trifolius, but that doesn&#039;t totally match either. So, I&#039;m settling on Actaea rubra for now. The shape of the flower head seems a bit off, but maybe that is just due to the angle.<br />
