Wild Lily-of-the-valley

12 Jul 2010 203
We have been seeing lots of these plants recently, outside the city, on various botanizing trips. This particular plant was growing on the land around the Medicine River Wildlife Centre, north west of Calgary and west of Innisfail. We have seen this species in the city at Shannon Terrace, Fish Creek Park, but we don't usually see it in other places. It is called 'Wild Lily-of-the-valley' because its leaves resemble those of Lily-of-the-valley, Convallaria majalis, a European species.
