Talk:Maianthemum canadense

usually just two simple green leaves

 * www.illinoiswildflowers.info/woodland/plants/cn_mayflower.htm
 * "An infertile shoot usually consists of a single basal leaf, while a fertile shoot consists of a flowering stalk with 2 alternate leaves (less often, there are 3 leaves)."
 * "In a typical colony, infertile shoots usually outnumber flowering fertile shoots."
 * "In Illinois, Canada Mayflower is associated with high quality natural areas."
 * "The berries are eaten by the Ruffed Grouse, White-Footed Mouse, and Eastern Chipmunk; these animals (particularly the Ruffed Grouse) help to spread the seeds of this plant into new areas."

This seems like a good source, with interesting info that would be good to add to the article. The plant may have 1 to 3 leaves, but typically seems to present with two simple green leaves, in dense colonies. The article needs a few more good photos. -71.174.185.30 (talk) 16:28, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
