Question
Saw this one in the woods near Kent, CT. Leaves are unique, but no luck finding it in Go Botany. Bill
Answer
Dear wdshaffer, you have photographed Sanguinaria canadensis (bloodroot), a native, spring-flowering member of the poppy family. It prefers rich, moist soils of deciduous forests. The leaves will exude an orange latex when torn. Best wishes.
