Red Trillium (AKA Purple Trillium, Birthroot and Wake Robin) is flowering. The most robust specimens are found in wet areas. Due to its unpleasant odor this flower is also called Stinking Benjamin.
This mound of sand with its pencil size hole is the brood nest of a solitary wasp. Its chambers will be stocked with live, paralyzed insect prey upon which the wasp's larvae will feed.
