| for the second year, part of my variegated solomon's seal has come up all white. It'll die in June, but last year I had only one white stock; this year two. This isn't exactly off topic because the SS is in my hosta garden. Nance

| It is likely attached via rhizome to the more typical Solomon's Seal in the picture. A white plant can't live on it's own. It has no chlorophyll to make food. If you leave it attached to the other plants it may stay for a while, but the white foliage is a burden on the entire plant because it doesn't contribute anything to its growth. Still its pretty cool looking. Steve |

| I've got one too, that comes back year after year. Mine is only one shoot. It's such a pretty little thing.
