Twisted Stalk (Streptopus) are a gemus of woodland lilies found in northern climates near streams and brooks.
The picture shows a close up view of the leaves, twisted peduncles and summer blooming berries, which are edible in small portions. Small bell shaped flowers with recurved tips (similar to fairy bells) precede the berries.
Plants grow a couple of feet in height, with large alternating leaves.
