Tellima grandiflora
Tuft of heart-shaped leaves, upright stem. Plant slightly hairy throughout. Leaves 2–3 in. wide, with shallow lobes, sharp teeth; stem leaves become smaller and clasp stem. Flower spike 1-sided, with many flowers. Flower in a deep cup with deeply fringed petals opened flat, white lightly tinted with green or sometimes red, very fragrant.
Grows in moist forests, along streams, below treeline.
According to the description above, the flowers are very fragrant. I didn't know it when I spotted this, so next time, I will definitely smell it!
