Summary edit

Description

Wild Ginger (Asarum caudatum) has one of the most exotic-looking flower forms of any Pacific Northwest native plant. The inflorescence is easy to miss. The heart-shaped, paired leaves rise on hairy stems and often form dense mats which effectively conceal flowers whose calices (singular: calyx) terminate in long, thready extensions. This moisture lover can be found along streambanks in the lowland forest, but may also occur at higher elevations and in soil which is seasonally damp. This specimen was observed near Tahoma Creek.
