I've been saying I want to get a couple of these for our own garden. We have a lot of shady areas this would be ideal for. I saw them for the first time when I went to one of the botanical gardens here.
I'd not heard of this plant before so I just had to look it up.
"Solomon's seal is an old cottage garden plant that appears early in spring, producing graceful, arching stems with precisely paired, oval leaves along their length. These are quickly joined by dangling, green-tipped, white bells that persist throughout late spring and early summer. Plants enjoy woodland conditions, and associate well in a cool, shady, humus-rich border with spring flowers such as corydalis and dicentra. Stems and foliage remain eye-catching even after the flowers are over. Solomon's seal also looks superb with hardy ferns to create a combination that lasts all summer." http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/670.shtml
That's why I enjoy blogging you discover new things every day. Thank you Christine.

I've never seen one, looks cool!
I do know this. I had these growing wild on my property in N. ID. It is very medicinal and a good one for the garden.
Never heard or seen it before!
I'm not familiar with that plant, but it is pretty...
I dont know this plant name but it looks happy and strong.

All the best Jan
Oh very interesting
never see one before in the wild or in someone's garden
No and if it grows in Canada it should grow here in North Idaho.
Coffee is on and stay safe
I didn't know that.
Hermosa planta y no lo sabía, pero me diste una idea. Te mando un beso
It's really a cool looking plant; new to me too!
That's a very pretty plant. It's the first time I've heard of it. I wonder how it got its name.
I've heard the name of the plant but didn't know what it looks like.
