    Actually it is a flat grower, the leaves are whirled when first come out. I have not seen it flower, but it looks like a miniature lilly-of-the-valley. It looks like all the leaves come out of a small rhizome. It is growing on the shady side of my rock garden. Should I let it go or pull it out?

    sorry, I don't own a camera to put a picture of the thing on line for you. All I can do is try to describe it. The leaves are about a thumb nail wide when open.
