Bloom Time

Another small white flower, Striped Wintergreen.


A curious little flower that hangs seemingly upside down.


Also oddly known as "Spotted Wintergreen", but as Boyd notes, "... evergreen leaves that are conspicuously striped, not spotted, with white or green-white along the veins".*


We have this plant in multiple places around our yard. But you have to look for it as it is small and inconspicuous, only obvious, if that, when in bloom.


I was again photobombed, this time with what looks to be a mosquito, which do eat pollen.
