Trillium sp.
This is one of the trillium species. I'd love to know it's name. I'm hoping there is a plant expert on Project Noah, who can name it. Unfortunately, this is the only shot that I took (Lesson Learned).
Native to the southeastern United States. This one was growing near a stream in humus-rich soil under the shade of deciduous trees. It was photographed along the trail at Slick Rock Falls in the Pisgah National Forest, NC.
I'm pretty sure that it's not Southern Nodding Trillium.

Hi Ken! I'm not an expert, but I have found this particular web site really helpful for IDing wildflowers in our neck of the woods.

There are several trilliums listed with good pictures. I bet you can match it up based on the tilted/nodding flower, the petal color, and the color of the anthers which are visible :)
