7-7 Wintergreen

 7-7

Wintergreen, AKA checkerberry, is in flower. As the name hints its dark green shiny leaves persist all winter.


Striped, AKA Spotted, Wintergreen also retains its leaves.



And Catnip, a member of the mint family, is starting to flower.


Wintergreens are woodland species. Catnip, which is not native, crops up in waste places.
