Also named: sealwort The leaf pattern of the Solomon's Seal is distinctive sharing its appearance with only a few other common wildflowers, the False Solomon's Seal and Bellwort. The plant has but one stem with smooth leaves, all of nearly the same size, zig zagging their way up the stem. Although these leaves are not "strung" onto the stem, as is the Bellwort plant, at first glance, the leaves do give the appearance of being "strung" together. The blooms are yellow or yellow-green and hang down under the arched leaf stem. They are shaped like long bells and there are usually two flowers "hung" together all the way up and down the stem on the underneath side. Blue-black berry fruits about the size of a pea can be seen after the plant has bloomed. Height: Up to 6 feet, though usually 2-3 feet. Blooms May-June
