Mystery Photo
April 5, 2010 – 7:31 amGood day,
Hope you had a great holiday with family and friends. I spent the whole weekend planting the spring garden and have a happy, sore back to prove it. (Thank God for yoga!) Anyway, today’s mystery photo was discovered in my yard last weekend. A highly sought-after native ground cover, this plant is often mistaken (and misnamed) as an edible. The weird flower you see here hangs under the heart shaped leaves.
The flower is about 3 inches across hanging under heart shaped leaves
Thought for today: Just because it’s edible, doesn’t mean it tastes good!
Happy Day,
Trish
BTW, even though the tax credit ends this month, there’s plenty of bargains out there in the housing market. We’re just beginning peak buying season. If you know of anyone who needs a great realtor, I’d appreciate the opportunity to assist them.

I agree with Betty. Looks like Asarum canadense. The color of the photo seems much grayer than the blooms on my clump of wild ginger. My blooms are little brown jugs. Jerry

Thanks for giving me the name of this delightful plant. I have it and was clueless as to it’s identity.
