A pretty little flower.
Also known as "Spotted Wintergreen".
A curious moniker as while the stipe is prominent there are no obvious spots.
"Frequent in dry, upland, oak and pine woods throughout the pine barrens.", Boyd tells us.*
Which makes you wonder what it is doing in our yard.
Maybe one of my plant geek friends can 'splain it to me.
