Escaped Garden Plants

One thing we're running into at Eklund is the naturalization of species that were previously planted in the garden. Sedum, foxglove, pulmonaria, lilac, forsythia, andromeda, lily of the valley, and wisteria come to mind. In a normal garden these plants might be great, but not in a native species garden, because they are all from Europe or Asia. The other day I ran into this unfamiliar plant scattered about the site and transplanted some of it in the hopes it might be something worthwhile.

Alas, it turns out to be a British orchid called Helleborne, and not a very showy one at that.
