Does anyone know what plant this is?

Hello Gardeners!

About 4 years ago my daughter bought a can of wildflower seeds and thought she would surprise me by sprinkling them everywhere, lol. I have this plant that has never flowered. For the past 3 years it was a twig with 2 leaves. This year it seems it has come to life with leaf growth but I can't find out what it is. So I thought the perfect place to go would be here with people who know their stuff! Any clues what it is?
Thanks for your valuable time!

:?: Actually it looks like some kind of wild lily? Or Trillum. You should try looking it up. Good Luck. :)

No definitely not trillium. Is that stem woody? It might be some kind of tree that popped up...

https://www.discoverlife.org/ If you click on IDnature Guides along the top and select what kind of plant it is (wildflower) in the following window, there's a search function that you can plug in different characteristics- leaf shape, color of bloom, etc. Very handy.

ETA: After a closer look, I'd say it's some kind of tree or shrub. That stem is kinda beefy for most wildflowers~
