Giant Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum biflorum var. commutatum) in the rain.

Solomon's Seal gets its name from the markings on the rhizomes which are said to resemble the ancient seal.

Pollinated by bees but the nectar also attracts hummingbirds when the blooms open.

@NatureMC oh, die kenne ich auch. Weil seit etlichen Jahren in meinem Garten #polygonatum wächst, hat sich auch die Blattwespe angefunden. Sie ist aber von Jahr zu Jahr sehr unterschiedlich vertreten. Mögen die Larven noch was übrig lassen!

May I introduce myself? I'm Phymatocerra aterrima, the Solomon's seal #sawfly. My larvae are extreme gourmets: they can eat only leaves of #SolomonsSeal and #LilyOfTheValley. If you kill the habitats of these plants, we can't survive. Therefore, we love the #forests of #VosgesDuNord and our photographer's wild #garden.
It's #fairy: #Polygonatum multiflorum is the fairy tale's key 'Springwurz' that opens all doors - perhaps also the magic viper's cave under the elder tree? #NatureMatchCuts

Complete chloroplast genomes clarify phylogenetic placement of six polygonatum species

Polygonatum Miller is highly valued for its medicinal properties with the horizontal creeping fleshy roots. Previous studies have mainly focused on the size and gene content of the plastid genome, with insufficient studies on the comparative genomic analysis. In addition, the complete chloroplast genome data of some species have not been published, so their phylogenetic placement is not well understood.
