Question
Found May 20, Ossipee NH. Lots of it. In very gravely, sandy soil, though on a slope and written description of area said it could get wet here. Is this Canadian wild ginger? Thank you!
Answer
Dear ksolstad, you have photographed Epigaea repens (trailing arbutus). This native evergreen plant belongs to the heath family. It has early appearing, very fragrant flowers. The brown remnants of the flowers are visible in the images. Best wishes.
