According to the map you shared, this is native in my area. I will have to watch for it come spring time when we go on longer walks and visit the 900-acre state land nearby.
I have an experiment for the Goldenseal tincture I received from you last week. I'll be sharing in my Wednesday edition of Kitchen Happenings this week.
yes! you'll know it by the bright white flower during that period. it can be easier to sight in fall when the berries come out if you're new to locating it. as mentioned, search near waterways. It grows in similar habitat as morels, paw paws, mayapples and the like...
Ooooh excited to hear of your experiment :D
