Beauty in the woods- Polygonatum odoratum

            I nearly missed this plant growing along the Cathar Way. The beautiful leaves prompted a closer inspection when I found the wilted flowers lined up underneath. Like many things in nature beauty can be hiding right under your nose. 
Polygonatum,  also known as King Solomon's-seal or Solomon's seal, is a genus of flowering plants  in the family Asparagaceae. The genus is distributed throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Most of the approximately 63 species occur in Asia, with 20 endemic to China. Polygonatum odoratum (angular Solomon's seal or scented Solomon's seal),  seen in the photo above is native to Europe, the Caucasus, Siberia, the Russian Far East, China, Mongolia, Korea and Japan.
