▶ "Trillium cuneatum —commonly known as little sweet betsy, whip-poor-will flower, large toadshade, purple toadshade, and bloody butcher— is a species of flowering trillium (in the butterwort or Melanthiaceae family), native to the southeastern United States.
Trillium cuneatum has three broad, mottled leaves surrounding a sessile [blossom without a stalk], banana-scented flower. The petals are erect and either maroon, bronze, green, or yellow in color, flowering from early March to late April. It is the largest of the eastern sessile-flowered trilliums."
