おもしろい事実

It takes up to seven years for a yellow trout lily seedling to produce its very first flower!

Its common name comes from the mottled leaves resembling a brook trout, while its corm looks like a dog's tooth!

The yellow trout lily's leaves and corms contain compounds that can cause a mild stomachache if eaten raw!

These 'spring ephemerals' emerge, bloom, and disappear within just a few weeks each year!
