Maybe, Possibly.....
......Hopefully

I was clearing out our field and didn't know what this was, but it looked too unique to rip up, so I asked for an I.D.

and I learnt it was Epipactis helleborine. Invasive, pretty. But invasive.
Researching I also found out his has VERY LOW traces of Oxycodone. (I would of grown these plants when I was 18.........). But now, I laugh at the effect it has. Especially on wasps; their primary pollinators. They will even get a "high" from consistency of feeding.

GETTING to the point......

I was cleaning up our front flower bed and found these under tall day lilies....

I hope this is truly something unique, and not an environmental fluke.

Either way, if it wasn't for you guys, I would never of knew where to look for identification, so thank you!
