Twin Flower

From LoveToKnow Garden

Twin Flower (Linnaea) - A little evergreen creeper, L. borealis having slender upright stalks bearing two flowers each, delicately fragrant white, often tinged with pink, and drooping. It is usually found in moist woods, where it forms a dense carpet. I have often seen it thriving where the air was pure and the soil suitable; and it is excellent for a moist rock garden, growing rapidly, and forming a charming fringe to groups of small alpine shrubs, on cool parts of the rock garden. N. Europe, Asia, and America; also Scottish Mountains.
