Lily of the Valley

Featured in Wildflowers of North America on December 12th, 2009.

White bell-like blossoms of a Lily-of-the-Valley plant. This woodland plant is native throughout the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere in Asia and Europe and a limited native population in Eastern USA and Canada. This image was captured in late spring, in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; in my own backyard, where it is actually growing wild.
