Medeola is a beautiful plant of the forest floor. When it’s not in flower, its single-tiered form blends in with the surroundings. As it gets ready to flower, it pushes forth a second tier that holds the flowers and fruit. Flower production does not necessarily occur every year but. when it does, the greenish-white flowers droop over the edges and turn into dark blue fruit.
