Wildflower ID Please
Hi everyone, long time no post.

Can anyone ID this flower for me? I think it might be a toothwort but I can't find anything that looks just like this. It was found last April in the Big Creek area.

Hope everyone has a productive Spring.

Thanks,

Alice :wavey:

Alice, it certainly looks like a toothwort to me as well. The flower parts look like they are in fours which would agree with toothwort and the flower spike looks correct. A sure ID would be to see the leaves. Hope this helps.

Hi Alice,

Looks a lot like a toothwart to me too. Here's a link to a photograph that I took of one a few years back in North Georgia.

Hope this helps,

I agree with the toothwart ID as well, Alice
