It doesn't seem woody and branching at this point. I'm thinking great angelica. You with me?

It's in a fen area, and remnants of talk, stalky growth were evident in the spring, so I think its a forb of some kind. THe stalks were an inch or so in diameter and the buds as big as my fist. Kind of prehistoric looking.

I think so! Thank you.

Thank you for once again proven the power of Project Noah! Found it while at event to plant 8000 native wetland plugs at Dick Young Forest Preserve in Batavia, IL. PN has just picked up a few new fans thanks to your quick response Fyn!

I'm guessing recurvatum - Red Trillium. Thanks, Raeven! I blasted a bunch of stuff into PN the afternoon because I'm leading a fence removal project in a nearby park. Want to help the volunteers to watch their step!!!

As in...pie? :-)

Thanks, Dan. Doing some old fence removal with a gang of volunteers and I want to be able to identify and protect the spring ephemerals around the project site as much as possible.

False Rue Anemone ( isopyrum biternatum ) perhaps?
