The plants are small and low-lying but its well worth the effort of stooping over to catch the scent of the flowers! This is one of the wildflowers I could find in the woods of my grandparent's farm. I picked some blooms once, and not knowing what they were, took them back to Grandma. She knew their name and told me to smell them; she was quite wise about both wild and domesticated plants. I believe she said trailing arbutus was a favorite of Grandma Mamie. I always think of family when I see these flowers :)
