Maianthemum racemosum

False Solomon's seal

I love how this plant has settled into the home garden.  It doesn't set seed well at home but I live live next to the mountains so collection is not an issue most years. 

One thing I really noticed this year was the scent that the blooms give off.  It was quite pleasant but not overbearing.

Maianthemum trifolium

Three-leaved Solomon's-seal

This grows on the forest floor, edge of forests as well, but it does prefer a fully shaded growing area.  The blooms are tiny and brilliantly white.  The berries are where this plant performs, pink speckled for the longest time and then turning to a deep red when ripe.
