Trillium erectum var. album
Trillium erectum usually has dark reddish purple petals, but this rare variety has pale yellow petals with green veins. As its common name suggests, it really does smell like a wet dog. The smell attracts its pollinators - carrion flies.
Spotted in a deciduous, marshy forest. There were three Trillium erectum var. album clustered together.
