A photo from a few years ago of a leaf belonging to wild ginger, Asarum caudatum. (It’s in the birthwort family, not ginger.) Next photo is the secretive flower, tucked away beneath. To find the flower you have to recognize the leaves, almost without exception. I always wonder who the flower is for, being so hidden. Grows in moist woods in rich soil or in rotting stumps. PNW.
