Spring Wild Flowers In The Forest Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Erythronium dens-canis produces a solitary white, pink or lilac flower at the beginning of spring. The petals growing to approx. 3 cm are reflexed at the top and yellow tinted at the base. The brown spotted leaves are ovate to lanceolate and grow in pairs. The white bulb is oblong and resembles a dog`s tooth, hence the common name `dog`s tooth violet` and the Latin specific epithet dens-canis, which translates as `dog`s tooth`.
