americanum SWAMP LILY |
| The swamp lily is a fragrant
herb that emerges each year from a deeply rooted bulb. The long leaves
appear to be arranged in a spiral from the base of the stem when viewed
from above. The flowers are white with six petals. The fruit is large
(4-6cm wide), with many large fleshy seeds. They grow in any moist
or wet soil, and bloom through spring and summer. |
