Tiny Twinflower

10 Jul 2009 194
This tiny plant has a pair of hanging bells on each Y-shaped stem. Yesterday, on a hike, we came across a few clumps of these plants that had quite deep pink flowers, as seen in my image - more commonly, the flowers are a pale pinkish white. They are found growing in leaf litter and moss in moist woodlands. This is a member of the Honeysuckle family, and grows June-August.
