Vancouveria hexandra aka Northern Inside Out Flower

Vancouveria hexandra, also known as the white inside-out flower, is a creeping, deciduous perennial herb that belongs to the barberry family Berberidaceae. Native to the Western United States, particularly southwestern British Columbia, western Washington and Oregon, and northwestern California, this plant thrives in moist, shady Douglas fir forests. Growing to a height of 20-40 centimeters (8-16 inches), it forms dense patches and features compound leaves in triplets. In the spring, fresh bright green leaves emerge, followed by sprays of delicate white flowers on leafless stems in late spring and early summer. This unique houseplant, which requires regular watering, does best in moderate sunlight and should be positioned within 6 feet of a window. The genus Vancouveria is named in honor of George Vancouver, an 18th-century explorer of the Pacific Northwest.
