Is this trillium? Seems like it had blue flowers on it last year? ( photo / image / picture from Tammyd's Garden )
I don't think it is a Trillium. The leaves are wrong and too close to the ground. I don't know what it is, though.
It looks like what I have been finding in my yard this year too. Tradescantia fluminensis a member of Spiderwort family which includes the purple leafed Wandering Jew plant. http://www.floridata.com/ref/T/trad_flu.cfm See what you think. It can be invasive when it likes where it is growing but if it, like mine, is in a place that needs a ground cover, it can be controlled.
It doesn't look like the trillium that I planted at our lake place. We were just there last weekend raking leaves and I found it to be in full bloom. The leaves on the plant in your picture don't look the same as mine. John
