Does anyone recognize this? I don't think it would be a "perennial" - it would be a native of N. Carolina, Virgina etc. mountains. Someone I know was hiking down there in the mountains and loved the foliage and brought some back. It's been living there for several years. Has not spread. Gets a fuzzy flower stalk with little green balls maybe 5/8" wide on the end for a bloom. I will have to post a pic when it blooms.

I know my friend should not have taken it, but since he did, I am glad it's still alive here. The piece my friend kept didn't make it.
