Hi driven, Last year, ViolaAnn and I set upon a quest to find out what this was that was popping up everywhere in our gardens. I emailed a local wildflower expert and she identified it as Epipactis helleborine. It's a non-native orchid. Here's some more info from the Orchid Society of Royal Botanical Gardens: http://www.osrbg.ca/files/EPI_HEL.HTM

Ever since it's been identified, I seem to see it everywhere. I think it's quite prolific. I think it must spread by seed. It's also hard to pull out. A lot of people like it though, after all, it is an orchid.

Here's the pic of mine I sent in for IDing last year.
