Red trillium (Trillium erectum)

Red trillium, also known as Wake-robin, Red Wakerobin, Wet Dog Trillium, Purple Wakerobin, Wake Robin Trillium, Bathroot, Death Root, Indian Balm

Native to eastern North America, the red trillium (*Trillium erectum*) is found on forest floors. Its components surface in groups of three as pointed triple leaves, giving way to three-petalled flowers. Red trillium is mildly toxic to humans. The flowers smell like rotting meat to attract pollinating flies.
