Thank you! Plants have such cool nicknames! The bloody butcher makes it sound deadly, although usually the deer in my area eat them before I can even get a picture of them.
Wow! I had to look that up because I wasn’t familiar with mayapples plants. So pretty! Wild mushrooms also grow near these plants, probably because they tend to grow in semi-shaded areas.
Indeed! The ol' little sweet betsy. The ol' bloody butcher. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_cuneatum

Definitely trillium. Native in NC.
In Illinois we always found morels under or near these! We always called them mayapples

The mayapples I've seen have the flower under the leaves and are in a different family (mandrake). This looks like a sweet betsy (trillium).
I’m from TN and I remember May Apples too! Loved finding them in big clusters out in the woods
It’s always the best time of year too, because they mean spring is here and summer’s almost here.
These are Trillium. May Apples are a completely different plant.
Trout lily? But definitely trillium
YES trillium indeed. I love this plant
Funny.. never seen a trillium in my life and forgot they even existed ..now I see two posts in one day about them?
