Western Wild Ginger

''Asarum caudatum'' is native to rich moist forests of western North America from British Columbia to California and as far east as western Montana. It is an evergreen with flowers that develop from March to August. The flowers are distinct, hirsute , cup-shaped, and brown-purple to green-yellow which terminate in three, long, gracefully curved lobes, often concealed by leaves. The long rhizomes give rise to persistent reniform leaves. Leaves are found in colonies or clusters as the rhizome spreads, forming mats
