Trout lily’s characteristic mottled leaves in the late afternoon light; young plants will grow only a single leaf and no flowers for the first seven or so years of their lives, then grow a second leaf and start to flower. The pollen of trout lilies is either yellow or shades of orange into red - all of the anthers in the population I found at Tyler’s Mill had red pollen.
