Question
My husband found this in a wooded area in Maine...what is it? Can it be transplanted to a regular garden bed?
Answer
Dear Loulou, this plant is Medeola virginiana (Indian cucumber root), a native member of the Liliaceae. It has a starchy, white tuber that gives it its common name. While I have never transplanted it, I suspect if you have a shaded section of your garden that it could be moved. Best wishes.
