Clintonia starting to bloom

I started learning wild plants in earnest in 1979 when my wife had a job
that involved writing a lot of short pieces about local botany. We shared
the enthusiasm for plants so it was easy to spend time outdoors finding and
identifying what we saw. She told me this one was called Clintonia. As it
happened, that was the same week I heard in the news of some obscure USA
politician named Bill Clinton. He was active at the time in Arkansas. I
knew the plant's name had nothing to do with him, but ever since I cannot
look at the plant without thinking of him.

I asked my wife a few minutes ago and she said she has the same experience.

I have always understood its blue berry is poisonous. According to the Internet ( :) ) it is not.
