Lily of the Valley is a Small Berry Producer that Attracts Birds and Rodents

Each plant produces one to three leaves which are oval in shape, stalkless, and notched at the base, contouring around the plant's stalk in a semi-circular fashion. From late spring to summer, the plant produces clusters of star-shaped flowers, white sprouting above the leaves at the plant's apex. The flowers, of which there are approximately twelve to twenty per cluster, can be further described as having four tepals (A term used for the outer part of the flower when sepals and petals cannot be differentiated.) Four stamens are also present.

Lily Of The Valley fruit holds one or two seeds.

The fruit itself is a small red berry which, when discovered in late spring to early summer, is mottled red and, when ripened by mid to late summer, is a darker red and, by some reports, more translucent in appearance. The berries are used as food for various birds and rodents whose habitat is the forested regions in which these plants grow. Interestingly, while not used for human sustenance, the fruit of this plant has medicinal properties and has even been used to treat tuberculosis.

Most plants found in one location are known as vegetative clones, meaning they multiply via budding instead of through a seed. Plants with a single leaf have no fruiting structure to produce fruit and, therefore, seeds.

This particular plant has many monikers. It is also known as the Canadian Mayflower and the Canadian May Lily. Ironically, it is known as the False Lily Of The Valley and the more elegant label, the Two Leaved Solomonseal.
