Iowa Wildflowers

White Dogtooth Violet (Erythronium albidum) |
| Early spring wildflower walks are often blessed with
an abundance of subtle colors. Few spring plants blossom with brilliant
blooms. Instead, each flower seems to quietly, without much fanfare,
rise to greet the ever-warming sun. The white dogtooth violet certainly
fits this description. Its pastel petals and mottled leaves blend
peacefully with it surroundings.
