  • Question

    Looking for identification of this plant. It has black petals, grass like folage, flower less than foot tall. Blooms in early March for short period in North Carolina. I can't seem to find anything like it on any website.

    Answer

    Dear bcostner_nc, I'm unsure what plant you have photographed. Is this a wild species or a cultivated one? Are you able to post additional images (including the fruit)? If so, I may be able to help further. Best wishes.
