Additional photo of 2 more. This photo shows how the plant stalk is, with the leaves growing up wrapped around the stalk.

Thank You carol23. It looks like you are right on with your response.

Polygonatum biflorum is listed on sites for ground covers in zone 9. The photo looks similar to that plant which is the reason I put the name out there. The leaf reverse also has prominent venation. I have never lived in zone 9 with those growing conditions. There have been instances on this forum where the OP has not noticed every detail of a plant. ( flowering, etc. ) A close up of the foliage is needed here.

Yes, that seems right, thanks!
