Wild Ginger
Wild Ginger aka Asarum canadense is not related to the Ginger you buy in the store. I'm hoping to test a bit of it this spring. I read that the Indians and settlers used it for flavoring. And though it has a toxic principle in it, you would eat so little of it at a time that it is inconsequential. It has a single very short stem that splits into two leaf stems and at that bifurcation a short flower stem sets. The flower is quite dark in color and sitting so close to the ground that you may well miss it if you don't go looking for it.

 An unusual looking plant! Interesting how the flower is located at the base of the leaf stems.
