I'd have to guess it's a Jack-in-the-pulpit. A protected species around here.

Thanks for the picture ;D

red,

Your second flower is a trout lilly. I believe your first picture, although a cousin of Jack-in-pulpit,is a dfferent species, known as Green Dragon. This species is not as showy as our northern ones (3-subspecies), with purple leaves and red fruit. The calcium oxalate crystals in the taproot will cause a burning sensation if eaten. The burning sensation is extinguished when boiling the taproot, actually a corm. Others of the genus are aquatic.

I'd say so. Trilium is in full swing around here right now.

The snowdrop is an amaryllis which is more lilly-like than the 3 petalled trillium.

Look like painted trilium, 3 sepals, 3 petals and 3 leaves. White flowers with pink or reddish veins in the flowers, reddest near the centre of the petal whorl. Might even be large flowered trilium, which is white flowered.

Our trilium are just emerging here, mostly the purple trilium.

I find myself looking underfoot at the smallest of flowers.  I think it is kinda neat that there is a whole world under there that we don't often notice.  Here is one of our pretty wildflowers.

SwampDonkey

Yup, there are a lot of tiny flowers we are always walking on with out even noticing. We have a tiny blue iris that looks like a blade of grass with a flower at the tip (pointed blue-eyed grass), then there is wild strawberries, ground ivy, blue bead lilly, asters, dog-toothed violet, red clover, twin flower, wild geranium, wood sorrel, hawkweed, bunchberry, winter green etc. When your in the woods, your walking on alot of these. ;) :)

I believe this is another trillium. Very dramatic color for a wild flower.
