This plant grows wild in this area and is in abundance. The leave structure is small, yet stunning.

Have found this plant growing, but only in one location, in Oak Ridge, TN, on a wooded hillside, among pine needles and mosses. Several plants were clustered together less than an inch apart. Leaf variegation is gorgeous!
