This is prairie trillium (Trillium recurvatum) flowering. The rounded leafed plant is wild ginger (Asarum canadense). The little plants with the narrow-lobed leaves is toothwort (Cardamine concatenata). The toothwort is past flowering, look close and you can see the little seed pods forming out of the old flowers. On cruciferous plants like this, these seed pods are called siliques. This was on the slope of a ravine near North River Road, April 25, 2009.
