    Would anyone know what this plant/flower is? I found it behind our shed today (4/14/10), east. Just this one plant alone which I did not plant, so presume it was seeded by the wind; eastern Massachusetts, USA, seven miles north of Boston. Photo attached. Thank you.

    Dear "chimera":

    Thank you so very much. Yes, that's it!
    Lovely.

    Trillium erectum,
    the Red Wake-robin

    The Spirits of the new-born flowers?
    They wander with the breeze, they wind
    Where'er the streams a passage find."
