This is Solomon's seal (Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum'), just now beginning to flower. These pictures were taken April 28, 2009.
This is a horticultural variety of Polygonatum, the Solomon's seal that is common in our Indiana woodlands is a little bit different, that is Polygonatum biflorum. Polygonatum odoratum is native to the Old World.
The first picture is between the Hort greenhouse main entrance and Marsteller St. The second picture is another patch of Solomon's seal close by, behind the Horticulture building.
Variegated means that white stripiness to the leaves, sometimes plants have this form.
