Allium tricoccum
The flower stalk for wild leeks doesn't appear until the leaves die back. The flowering part consists of small white flowers occurring in a spherical-shape at the top of a leafless stem. The plant was approximately 8 inches high.
Spotted in a deciduous forest near a stream at Bent of the River Audubon
The plant has a mild onion flavor. The foliage and bulbs can be used in cooking. Additionally, Native Americans used parts of this plant medicinally.
