Great White Trillium - Trillium grandiflorum
I was so surprised to see this trillium in full bloom. This is the earliest I've ever found it - usually it doesn't bloom in NW Connecticut until the first or second week of May.
Habitat: Mostly coniferous forest, beside a stream. It was a warm, sunny day, but still dark in the forest.
