Twinflower (Linnaea borealis) is a one of a kind flower, the only memeber of its genus found in the United States.

It's a member of the honeysuckle family, commonly found growing low to the ground in forest areas along the Northern United States.

The double pink shaded flowers growing on a single stem differentiate it from almost all other flowers in its range.

It grows fairly easy, making it a nice late spring and early summer cultivated flower and grond cover for woodlots.
