Other things blooming were May Apple, Canada Mayflower, Sweet Cicely, Solomons Seal, Solomons Plume, Spring Beauty, and Jack-in-the Pulpit. And the mosquitoes were VERY thick.
We ran across this at Bradner Preserve (Wood County) a few days ago in a pre-bloom state. I went out today between the rain to see if any flowers had opened and I did manage to find one. Not a real showy flower, but still pretty. Photos below. It is has an unusual leaf structure with a whorl of leaves half way up, and then a smaller whorl of leaves plus the flowers at the top.

I really like Bradner, but the mosquitoes are as bad there as any place I have seen. The Indian Cucumber Root is one of my favorite flowers, I think because it is so easy to overlook. I usually see the leaf arrangement before I see the flower.
