Hepatica Hepatica 
(Hepatica Americana) 
Hepatica plants grow in a most unusual way.  Instead of producing green vegetation followed by blossoms, the hepatica first produces flowers.  After the flowers are no longer blooming, 3 lobed leaves are produced that remain visible until fall.

Hepatica blossoms don't often last long; enjoy them while you can.
