Question
Could you please identify this small woodland flower? I found it by a wooded stream in southeast Connecticut. I couldn't find a match on the Internet. Thank you, Nancy
Answer
Dear Nancy, your plant is Panax trifolius (dwarf ginseng), a early flowering member of the Apiaceae. It is a spring ephemeral and will senesce early in the season. It overwinters by a spherical tuber. Best wishes.
