Yesterday, in the midst of a warbler-filled visit to Presque Isle State Park, I paused to take a photo of this flower at Beach 11.
Star-flowered Solomon’s seal or Star-flowered lily-of-the-valley (Maianthemum stellatum) is so beautiful that I thought it was an alien that escaped from a garden. Thankfully it is native to North America.

My grandma grows Lily of the valley (not star-flowered). One of my friends thought they were wild ramps but I assured them they were quite poisonous as seen in “Breaking Bad”.
