June 2 Dwarf Ginseng (Panax trifolius).
I found these deep in the woods in a wet area off the main trail.
The detail of the flower has been blown out by the flash; it was early
morning and dark.
The plant is about 4-5 inches tall.
The leaves of the plant may appear in 3's or in 5's. | ![](d_ginseng_06-02-14.jpg)
