Question
This plant is growing in Essex County, MA in shade next to Solomon's seal. It is about a foot high and has white fleshy roots. I don't have a picture of the flower but the seed pod is three sided.
Answer
Dear Lennie, it looks like you have a variegated form of a species of Uvularia (bellwort), members of the Colchicaceae. I can't tell you for certain which species you have, but it appears to be Uvularia sessilifolia (sessile-leaved bellwort). Best wishes.
