Mr. McGregor's Daughter inspired me to look around in my yard for native wildflowers!.
This is what I've found:
Erythronium albidum
also called 'Trout Lily' (it is of the lily family)
or 'Dog toothed violet' (not of violet family)
(These little fellows are waiting for sunshine.)
This is what I've found:
I have provided links to an Iowa DNR site, with an exception of two, showing photosand giving information about each of these plants, as well as their U.S. distribution.

Trilliam Recurvatum Beck

This particular plant has an interesting history
in my garden... I'll post that later!)

And last, but never least...
It may not be native,
but everyone has it.
Everywhere!
