Goodyera pubescens, the Rattlesnake Plantain, must be one of the most commonly found orchids native to eastern North America. The attractive variegated leaves are evergreen. It is a creeping plant that divides on the ground surface and sends out short stolons. It is normally terrestrial or occasionally epipetric. The initially regarded nondescript white flowers do deserve close examination, they are much more interesting from the nearer perspective with hairy lace-like petals tipped with green. It prefers slightly acidic soils. farm7.static.flickr.com/6086/6026068703_5595db8cf4_b.jpg [/img] Goodyera pubescens

Yes, at close inspection it is even lovelier.
Hope you and yours are doing well in the UK.
