It could very well be a cholorpetalum - the flowers resemble others I have
seen as they can be quite variable in appearance. The photo is not clear
enough to detect any marbleing on the leaves - is there any apparent? Does
the flower have a pleasant fragrance? If yes to both, I'd go with
chloropetalum or perhaps a hybrid with chloropetalum parentage. This also
seems to be one of the more common species available for sale in this area.
If not, my choice might be Trillium viride, but that is a sessile form also
and I've not seen one in bloom.

This was sold to me as Trillium chloropetalum, but if that is what it is,
it is nothing like the T. chloropetalum I've seen before. This one has
reflexed purplish-green petals atop green sepals, & bright yellow anthers.
It was supposed to be sessile (stemless), but it has a short stem between
flower & leaf. The plant is now three years old & bloomed for the first
time this month (April).

If anyone knows what it is I'd sure be glad.
