This one is going to be obvious to someone. We missed the bloom, but it has a distictive 3 corner seed pod coming up through the leaf. I have not been able to find this anywhere.

Could be one of the Bellworts, Uvularia grandiflora: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1374/ or Uvularia perfoliate: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1373/.

Thank you greenthumb99. Now I don't have to wait for spring to figure it out.

I vote for U grandiflora also. It grows in your area, and the fruit certainly looks right. I have seen a lot of this plant and so am pretty familiar with it. Here's a site with a really good description, but the only photo shows the flowering stage.

agree with Uvularia grandiflora because of the "clasping" of the leaf around the stem
