How about a flower that is chocolate colored?
Alaskan native plant: Chocolate Lily (AKA Indian Rice)
We saw these in the coastal areas of Alaska, They are a perennial herb, called Fritillaria camschatcensis that have bronze-to-brown flowers in spring. The stems reach 16 inches, commonly used as food for native peoples. Bulbs have many small bulblets – resembling rice grains – surrounding the main bulb, thus the name Indian Rice.
Just thought you might enjoy an interesting flower fact today :)
Interesting! I love learning about edible plants. Did you know there's a type of orchid that smells like chocolate? I don't think it's edible, though.
