Look for 3 leaves, 3 sepals and 3 petals. Flowers are generally purple. The leaves can be purple-blotched. |

At 2 or more inches across, this flower is fairly large, but much smaller than the wide 8-inch-long leaves that surround it. |
Wakerobin is found in groups, low to the ground, in moist shady woods. |
