Another patch of wildflowers blooming now is Gaultheria, one of the wintergreens. I haven't seen it anywhere else, but there is a huge patch of them in the same area as the twinflowers. The flowers nod on tall red stalks.

Yes, I love that word! And you are right - it is Prince's Pine, Chimaphilia umbellata, also known as Pipsissewa! I looked it up, and don't know why I came up with Gaultheria, which is Salal. Oh, well!
