  • Question

    Spotted this in a wooded section of our yard in West Simsbury, CT. Is it a Trillium? I didn't notice it earlier, so I don't know what color the flower was.

    Answer

    Dear mkrjcik, good morning. I do not know for certain who your plant is (but I can share it is not a species of Trillium). I need images taken from different angles to help you best. The plant may be a seedling of Epipactis helleborine. If so, it may flower soon. If it does, please post another image so I can assist you.
