I saw this in bloom in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Very nice. Actually I think I saw two species. But wouldn't you know it, I had left my camera home in NYC.
Not sure what you want from the poll though.

Very nice  I've been looking around for it up here in NY. What are the surroundings like, do they grow in pine forests too? |

Well, the ones I found are in temperate deciduous forests. The dominant tree was Liriodendron (Tulip Tree), and dominant understory were Rhododendrons.

Goodyera pubescens. Produces a nice stalk of white flowers much like tropical jewel orchids.
I often see them at my parents in the Pocono Mountains in northeastern PA. Deciduous hardwood forests seem to be their favoured habitat.
Sure wish I could find a commercial source of nursery propagated plants.
Cheers.
