Glass slide of a solitary yellow nodding flower, 3/4-1.5" long, composed of 3 petals and 3 sepals, slightly reflexed. 1 pair of smooth, somewhat fleshy, mottled leaves 3-8' long. Height: 4-10". These flowers are perennial and their common name refers to the mottled leaves, which resemble the color pattern of a fawn or brook trout. Also called Yellow Fawn-Lily and Dog-tooth Violet (not a true violet). The leaves and flower stalk grow from bulbs growing 6-15" deep in the soil. This wildflower grows in extensive colonies of hundreds of plants. Widely distributed throughout the state of Ohio. Their habitat is the moist woods and they bloom from March-May.

Portrait featuring Xena for C.! Thank you so much again for trusting me with this, it's been an honour <3 It was lovely to draw these geraniums as well - they've always been growing near me, I've got a lot of nostalgia for these and funnily enough I don't think I've drawn them before!
