Looks like "Lily of the Valley" or Convallaria.


Indeed. What's more you got one that grows sideways. What a rarity!


lol.

Note that it's not a native plant -- it's Eurasian in origin. It can
be a bit invasive if it finds a nice partly shaded area to choke
everything else out of. It spreads by underground structures -- in a
botany group I'm afraid to call them runners, since they might be
technically something else!
