Not U. grandiflora. Leaves are sessile, not perfoliate. (grandiflora leaves completely surround the stem. It would look like the stem is emerging from inside the leaf). Look at the link below.

What's the other plant?

Here's a link that made me say Uvularia Grandiflora - http://plants.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/product/8874/1?RA=tiscali - and here's another one - http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/uvulariagran.html - sure looks like the same plant to me.

The other name on the ziploc was Asarum canadense (wild ginger) and this plant doesn't look anything like wild ginger.

These are the only two labels that were with the plant. One (the wild ginger one) stuck to the outside of the ziplock and the other (Uvularia Grandiflora) on a paper inside the ziplock back with the plant.

Oh yes... the note in the bag also said that if it has yellow flowers it is variety "Merry Bells".

My better judgement tells me I shouldn't disagree with Rick, but unless my eyes are failing me, it looks like the stem pierces the leave. Also, starting to show the typical drooping/wilting look of U.grandifolia. Common name is Merry Bells.
There are two other less common species of Uvularia. U. perfoliata and U. sessilifolia but it is unlikely that your plant is either of those. All Uvalarias have yellow flowers...nobody has messed with them yet.

You may have gotten this plant from me as I brought some to the swap. They grow wild in our woods, lots and lots of them. I had ID'd them as large flowered bellwort, but maybe I need to do more research. Got my ID from Stan Tekiela's book "Wildflowers of Minnesota".

Linda

I think I did get it from you, Linda! Hadn't thought about checking it out in the Wildflowers book.. I have that one too.

Jan, I think the stem pierces the leaves too, although not so much as the one in the link that Rick provided.

Rick, I'll try to get a better picture later on, when it's got a little more growth on it... or when I have my macro lens on so I can get a better close up.

Linda, do you remember the flowers? The simplest way to I.D., of course.

Barring that, the perfoliation is more pronounce up the stem and as leaves become closer to the flower itself. But even all the ones in the photo, if it its grandiflora, should have at least the leaf sheath enclosing the stem (not just folded over on itself). I have never seen sessifolia, but it could be very common in Linda's area and to the north. Grandiflora could be basically throughout the state.

The other remote possibility could be Streptopus rosea. A plant I have always known as Merreybells. If the leaves are hairy (easily seen), then it is Strept. Uvularia leaves have no hairs.

Rick

Just googled S. roseus (google preferred that to rosea) and I find it very attractive. Rick, is it native around here and do you know where some can be obtained? I would like to add it to my garden, and it doesn't have to be, but would be nice.

Well lookie there Joyce-
Been sowing yer wild oats all winter long!

Well- their kin anyways...........

This is the plant I have in my woods. I brought several to the swap so others may have some, too. Leaves have no hairs.

Well Joyce, there you have it. Leaves should be very pronounced perfoliate next year, if you're still wondering this year. Leaves of other species (not grandiflora) will never be actually perfoliate, but may almost look like it by folding around the stem.

Leaves, it is roseus, not rosea. I should have remembered the botanical Latin adjective agreement. I have never seen Streptopus come this far south, only to about Sherburne County according to Morley. Although he does list a remnant population in Winona County.
