Trillium viride
Endemic to east-central Missouri and south-west Illinois, this trillium species can be found growing in woods with rich soils and on rocky slopes. It blooms in mid to late spring and there are lookalike trilliums; however, T. viride has a characteristic unique only to it - tiny, yet visible stomata that look like white dots all over the top of its leaves.

happy earth day!! ♻️🌎
remember, if you're going to do ecoterrorism, buy some seeds of the native plants in your area- dont use the wildflower seed packs from big box stores. you could be introducing invasive plants into your area which would actually be terrorizing your ecosystem
today is a good day to go out and appreciate the native flowers that are coming into bloom!! i have a lot of goldenrod where i live and i think its so beautiful when i see it actually get to thrive 🌿🌻
