I found this plant trailing along under some leaf litter, and then I noticed it had recently flowered. I’m curious to know what it is.

At the park, but growing in a place I doubt it was planted.

Erythronium americanum does not flower for the first 4 to 7 years of its life; in any given colony, only 0.5% can be expected to have flowers
P.S. I had to crop some photos down about a dozen times...

Found growing wild beside the North Augusta Greeneway. The area is now a construction site.

It's an awful picture of a really cool little plant. It is native to the Southeast, but Linnaeus mistakenly gave it the name "chinensis" for whatever reason. (According to the rules of nomenclature, such mistakes are not grounds for renaming anything.) Here it is growing in considerable abundance, scarcely any higher than 2 inches, on the mud, below cord-grass and other marsh plants, along Cuckohold Creek. It was low tide. Notice the drying silt/mud. During high tide, the little plants are completely submerged. What a life!
