Question
Wakefield NH. May 20. At a camp- glacial till soil, though in small semi garden area with wild columbine and low bush wild blueberry. The “flower” was hidden deep in the hanging leaves until it opened. This is at a very old family camp- no one has “gardened” to any degree in 50 years, though builder in 1930s did plant some nice flowering bushes .
Answer
Dear ksolstad, good morning. You have photographed Maianthemum racemosum (feathery false Solomon's-seal). This is a native species that belongs to the Ruscaceae (butcher's-broom family). It will have red berries later in the season.
