Spotted Wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata) Spotted wintergreen is common, but small and grows in colonies, and you need to be looking for it. I have quite a bit of it through my woods. I have never seen it for sale anywhere. They make oil of wintergreen from Eastern teaberry, gaultheria procumbens, PLANTS Profile for Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry) | USDA PLANTS

Ruellia is attempting to take over the front planting beds--not that I particularly object.

thanks turttle
That was nice of you to explain & reference a little about the Chimaphila maculata, spotted wintergreen, & include the bonus information: gaultheria procumbens, eastern teaberry
 How interesting those little plant are! I really think the CT Botanical site is so easy to use, (I like browsing their site using the: 'next button' that refers to the next wintergreen, or fern, or whatever) Those 2 specimens don't seem to be native in my area (AR), (usda plants profile pages) and I think I would of noticed those, being evergreen. But I'm use to that, there are lots of things from the east that haven't made a home out this way. ww

I'm lucky enough to have a nice patch started. Last year I started spreading them elsewhere...and I hope to spread them to more areas this year.

I'm really behind on this thread--not only in viewing but also in posting. The same thing happened to me last year.
I took tons of photos since March, but I've yet to post much of anything to my blog or here. I think I'm stuck, because I want to catch up before I post what is blooming now. Quote:

The leaves are wide and rounded but they often grow within a clump of grass, somewhat dry and gravely area, but shaded.
