One-Sided Wintergreen
Orthilia secunda
A little patch of this plant sprang up in my side yard. I first noticed it last fall so have been watching it this spring. The first I've seen it around my immediate area though I had seen it in the Canim Falls area. Every now and again something surprises you.

This is an evergreen plant, hence the name ... even in our climate! This is not the wintergreen that wintergreen flavouring comes from.
