Genus: Erythronium

This is also a native perennial where I grew up in north central Ontario...we called it Adder Tongue or Dogtooth Violet. They bloomed in masses popping up through the leaf cover along with the trilliums and wild arbutus..

I love these.

Have just planted these this year - they look stunning!

Wish I could find one of these lovely white blooming forms.!

Excellent photo

Lovely flower !

I agree the leaves r wonderful colour :0

Love the leaves on these DI.

I noticed that your leaves were solid green and thought that maybe they were something different. There is a solid green-leafed Trout Lily in my wildflower book but it has a white flower and is called Prairie Trout Lily. I wonder why yours are solid? Very strange. If you bought yours I wonder if they somehow lost their mottled leaves through cultivation.

Yours are much prettier than mine...! Thefoliage on mine is solid green. Looks like I'll be placing some more bulb orders after all.!

I would love to have dozens of this color, very rare indeed.!

I saw some of these plants on sale2day at a Family run small Nursery i go 2 i didnt buy any :(

Cute Little Ant :)

A bonus for your efforts Spritz.

well its in dappled shade in the morning and full shade in the afternoon.

yes! every time i went out there yesterday it had changed! lol so i thought it would make good viewing for everyone! lol

to be honest i don't think is really a violet at all, its just the name! they are quite fussy to conditions they are a woodland plant so like some shade, and they don't like being moved or disturbed. out of 10 that i planted in the autumn, only 6 have come up and out of the 6 only one has flowered. but worth trying.

i have been waiting for this to flower for what seems like ever, i planted 10 of them last year but this is the only one that has flowered - still it is pretty is'nt it!

Sad looking!!

Wonderful Pic&flower :D

How different it is 2 other violets Ang Supe!x

:D it's very beautifull!

Nice to "watch" it bloom!

What a lovely shape to this; very pretty!

Fantastic pic!!! Just gorgeous!

I love this flower, where do you have it planted? Is it shade or sun?

Love this one :)
