Lovely photo...FYI (in case you didn't know) this flower is called a Trillium. And in many areas it is illegal to pick these flowers.
[Wikipedia]
Picking the flowers of Trillium can seriously injure the plant. The three leaves below the flower are the plant's only food source and a picked trillium may die or take many years to recover. For this reason in many areas, e.g. British Columbia, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Washington, it is illegal to pick trilliums. While a popular belief is held that it is illegal to pick the common Trillium grandiflorum (white trillium) in Ontario, no such law actually exists. However, the Trillium flexipes (drooping trillium) is protected by law in Ontario, where it maintains its very small Canadian population.
They are a favorite 'find' of mine, of which I discovered a patch growing on my property this weekend and was educating the kids on them. I was excited to see your lovely photo.
