Trout Lily - A yellow blossom whose leaves are covered with brown spots, this flower can grow 4 to 10 inches high. It flowers in March to June, in fertile forests and fields. It is one of the most widely found flowers of spring. The name Dogtooth Violet comes from the bulb, which is shaped like a tooth. However, because the flower is of the Lily Family, the name Trout Lily is more appropriate.
