Twinflower (sometimes written Twin Flower)
Scientific Name: Linnaea borealis

From Hike to Tamanawas falls 7/30/13

The Twinflower plant is a perennial and a member of the honeysuckle family.

The flowers usually occur in pairs (although, there may only be one). The flowers droop from a long stalk and they are colored white or pink, with red stripes inside the bell.

The leaves of the Twinflower plant are evergreen and they last two years before being shed and replaced.

The plant's scientific name Linnaea refers to the fact it was named in honor of the 18th century Swedish naturalist, Carl Linné, who developed the widely used system to identify all species.
That is, to identify the five Kingdoms of life on Earth: plants, animals, fungus, single and simple multi-cell organisms and bacteria.

The Twinflower leaves are the small low leaves.
Note how the leaves are arranged in pairs
