Little white flower in my woods

7 years ago

A little background. I live in the Carolinas and have a little white flower that is all over the woods in my backyard. It is really low to the ground and is currently blooming. I tried to google pictures to see what it might be but was unsuccessful.

Thanks in advance!

Sanguinaria canadensis, aka Bloodroot.

Thank you! Was it something that was purposefully planted or perhaps brought in by bird activity?

And it looks like a red trillium in the back just opening.

The picture is a bit distant, but it looks like Vaccinium arboreum, sometimes called Sparkleberry or Farkleberry. The foliage on it is often shiny, in fact the foliage is one thing I like about it.

Flowers coming out of the side of a main stem, with a leaf right below seems to me typical of Clarkia.

Yep, have that in my landscaping. Very delicate little plant and flower. Good ground cover! Spreads easily.

It is a native plant. It could have been planted or emerged from seed. I don't believe birds eat that seed.
