If you wait for them to open much more, you'll probably be dissapointed. DESCRIPTION: Directly above the 3-whorled leaves is a single stalkless maroon flower that appears closed because of its narrow erect petals. The leaves are 2 - 6" long, ovate and attaching directly to the stem. They are mottled with a random light/dark green pattern. FLOWERS: April to June HABITAT: Rich deciduous woods.
