Dog's tooth lily


I'm not sure about the English name of this lily.
In both Swedish and Finnish the name
translates to dog's tooth lily.

Thank you, Tom, for giving me the correct
name of this lily: dog tooth violet.

I'm linking to Friday Greens.

    Har inte denna liljan i min trädgård, men den är söt! Och bladen ser också dekorativa ut.
    Trevlig helg!

    The brown patterns in the leaf margins are very decorative.

    I think it's known by both names in England Gunilla.Also i believe it can be used as a root vegetable! Think I will stick to spuds though.

      Thank you, Phil! I think the flowers are too pretty for anyone to dig up the roots for food. :-)

    It seems a special lily but a nice one. The correct name you had already gotten and so we learn again :-)

    I like the almost abstract quality of this shot, Gunilla.
    Thanks for contributing to the Friday Greens meme.
