Bishop's-cap

Bishop's-cap
This is another plant I have been longing to see for maybe a couple of years. This morning, I finally got to see it in a moist woodland area! The flowering stems are 5-20 cm tall and have 3-10 flowers on them. The flowers are greenish white, 5-6 mm across (i.e. VERY, VERY, VERY tiny!!). The 5 petals are finely divided and branched and remind me of teeny snowflakes. I did see the seed pods and seeds last year and they are fascinating, too. I'll have to post a photo IF I can find one. To me, they look like a plate piled with black caviar!
