    While cleaning up a bit in an old garden on the property I noticed this little plant. Does anyone recognize what it is? Each one is a SINGLE stalk with sage green leaves. In the picture there is more than one stalk. Then at the top there is a cluster of variegated leaves with small white flowers. They are currently forming seed pods which I have attempted to photograph in the second photo. These are 3 section pods, presumably with a seed in each. I am waiting for them to ripen to see how they develop. Looks too pretty to be a weed, but I haven't seen this in any wildflower books. We are in south central missouri in the ozark mountains. Any ideas? I am having trouble with the photo load so if the picture is not there...give me a minute and I will add them............[/img]
