Wild Oats
Sessile Bellwort

A common spring wildflower found in forests. Small creamy-yellow, nodding, blooms that look like oats (well, from a distance). Leaves are not "pierced" by the stem as common with other bellworts. Seed pods are triangluar. Like other bellworts, tend to grow in dense patches.
