Here are some more Wildflower images from Clifty Falls State Park, I believe these are Toadshade they may be in the Trillium Family..not really sure but thought I might share them with you.

It is definitely a toadshade of some sort, but what species I'm not sure. And yep, these are trilliums, more specifically a sessile trillium, not to be confused with Sessile Trilliums (Trillium sessile), which is an example of a sessile trillium or toadshade. Thank god for scientific names.
Anyway, I love the richness of the color of the greens - it reminds me of Velvia at its finest.

Nice detail and color. I like the textures and the dew, and another ID for the ignorant(me)

My guess is they might be Sessile trilliums, in my Wildflowers of Illinois guide book it shows both the Purple and the Sessile, which seems to me has the leaves tighter to the stem much like your photo, compared to the Purple. Either way nice photo.

I wouldn't place bets on my ID.
