  • Question

    This plant is in my yard in orange, MA. It is about a foot high with only 3 leaves. It has a yellow bloom about 2” tall.

    Answer

    Dear Sugarmama2, this plant appears to be a yellow-flowered wake-robin (genus Trillium). There are no native species with that color petals found in the northeast. Perhaps this is something planted or a contaminant in a seed mix? Best wishes.
