This gorgeously delicate native (Medeola virginiana) stuns! The flowers are subtly hidden beneath the umbrella of large leaves.
And when you look from below, it looks as if the plant has false eyelashes
(but what would I know about such things ... ?)
These are growing naturally in my wooded area, and I'm so proud!

I have never seen these before.....are they in dry areas? Damp? Green? What a beauty!!
It's an understory beauty of moist woodlands. You have to basically get down on the forest floor and look up under its little umbrella of leaves to see it - very hidden and demure.
I haven't been down to our wet area in a couple of years....ticks....I've been sticking to the trails. Maybe that is why....will have to venture out in my tick clothing and loads of spray...those are incredible.
I really love this one. So intriguing.
Glad you see its beauty, too.
