In May Solomon’s Plume (Maianthemum racemosum) blooms. A cluster of snow white, or off white, star shaped, feathery flowers, on the end of each stem. Now as summer is thinking of closing down, those flowers have become berries. Berries, bright red with stripes or speckles of purple or brown. A few seeds in each berry.

Native to a good bit of the eastern half of North America. Arching stems, holding alternate bright green leaves, which sometimes will grow to 3 feet tall.

Showing up trail side now here on my mountain.
