Erythronium americanum
Trout lilies close their flowers every night and open them to the sun the next day. The last photo shows some early morning and by mid afternoon they had revealed all their glory. They posses an edible root, but you should not dig up these beauties. The exception being, if you come across a large stand with few flowers, then a little thinning will allow the remaining plants to flower.
