    Answer

    Dear Mary, the image is very small, and I can't see the details well because of this. However, I can get you started with the identification. The plant is a species of Polygonatum (Solomon's-seal), a member of the Ruscaceae. Based on the few flowers in each inflorescence, it is likely P. pubescens (hairy Solomon's-seal), which is a native species of deciduous forests (often rocky ones).
