Hello! Does anyone know what kind of plant this is?

The picture was taken along the Long Trail in Southern Vermont, today, April 24th.

Trillium. They bloom in the next couple of weeks, depending on climate.

I think this is it, thank you!

:) There are different kinds but that looks like the one with a creamy white blossom.

I agree, it really looks like a trillium. In some places, they are endangered and it is illegal to disturb them. They are pretty when they open and a nice sign that spring is really underway. Yay!

Thank you! Hopefully my mother taking this picture didn't disturb it. :)

Ack, they are notoriously shy....;-)
