Hyrdrastis canadense (Golden Seal)
A plant with very cool morphology! It only has 3 leaves. One at the base and 2 further up the plant that are about 6 to 8" across. A single white flower with no petals shows up in spring where one of the upper leaves meets its petiole. In late spring the flower is replaced by a tight cluster of green berries that eventually turn red and resemble a raspberry. A large colony of these plants is an amazing sight to see!
