help with plant identification?

[handmade34]

low growing (4-5 inches high, 1/2" flower, glossy leaves) in Vermont woods... I usually can ID but this one is new in my woods... any ideas??? it is absolutely delightful and a nice find

1. Beautiful!

The flower looks like a Moth Mullein only waxy but the leaves are different all together. Whatever it is it is a beauty!

Could it be a type of Wintergreen?

2. Don't

know what it is but I like it. I'm in central/western Washington and I've noticed quite a few new wildflowers this year. It's great!

9. Same here in NE Kansas

not too many new plants but the wildflowers are enjoying the wet and the heat and humidity. My pastures that are left for the wild are full of them. So wonderful.

3. Wolfbane!

Even a man who is pure of heart,
and says his prayers by night,
may become a wolf,
when the wolfbane blooms,
and the Autumn moon is bright.

Sorry; Svengoolie showed "The Wolf Man" last week. I don't know what that is, but I like to grow some.

Saturday night on MeTV- it’s the origin story of enduring Universal horror character Larry Talbot-who is cursed to become “ The Wolf Man”! Lon Chaney Jr,Claude Raines, Evelyn Ankers and Ralph Bellamy, along with Maria Ouspenskya in the classic- 8 pm eastern/pacific, 7 central.

5. hmmm

would it be so... changing to a wolf never heard that one and not close to what the plant is

4. Maybe- Looks like some type of kholanchoe

Also known as Mother of Thousands. If it is, it will really spread in your garden.

To be more precise, I use the PlantNet app to identify plants using your iPhone camera. It works well. I'm sure there are other plant identification apps out there tho.

20. Pipsissewa or Prince's Pine, which is a lot easier to spell but not as fun to say.

Chimaphila is found here in S. Idaho too, though you have to find a cool, wet, shady spot up in the trees above 5000 feet. Till a couple of years ago, I had only seen it further north.
