Caption

The Mayapple is an erect perennial that grows to about 1 to 11/2 feet in height. Two umbrella-like, palmately lobed leaves grow at the top of each plant, rarely 3. The plant produces a white flower in fork of leaves, and ovate yellow fruit.

This image shows a Mayapple flower bud coming out from the fork of the plant.
