A Dog-toothed Violet
I was absolutely delighted to find this yellow beauty in bloom in the
woods earlier this week.I knew it as a Dog-tooth violet but it goes by
many other names as well:
Trout -lily,Fawn lily, both names are derived
from the spotted leaves of this woodland plant And its also called
Adder's tongue. A clue to the origin of this name lies in the visual
red stamens seen at the center of its yellow petals.
The dog-tooth violet photo lent itself readily to the kaleidoscope photo
shop filter and in the first photo below ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl4D66c9tqwLWEajvUpuqHNn9bN7ZH-a4sBG8I1CfED7Yp3GbcFEO3bTMOp5tMFvbn9qpgJrnqutBUfDADed9kkMZ8u9xYHRL61HNVbXXPClCVjVXzx3D10-Wxw_ei4N4AJ6kIcQ/s320/klaidoscope+dog+toothed+violet+star.jpg)
