This bright little wildflower is always a pleasure to meet.
Spotted wintergreen , sometimes called pipsissewa, is a resident of dry woods. I found this group growing among the trees just a few feet from the driveway. I had noticed it in the winter when it was one of the few green things on the ground, but what caught my eye was the bright white of the flowers. It typically blooms in June. after I saw the first clump, I noticed three or four other clumps. It seems that that is often the case; after you see one thing you can see it everywhere. I guess this is known as pattern recognition.
