The trout lily gets its name from the mottled color on its leaves which
look similar to a brook trout’s skin.
DCP Presents
“Plant Name Lore”
Ever wonder how a plant got its name or why historical tradition views
it in a particular light? The Mayapple is pretty easy, but others
aren’t so simple. On May 20th at 2pm join a Darke County Parks
naturalist to learn more about these interesting aliases. During this
illuminating afternoon, participants will discuss why some plants were
stuck with their common names, the historical uses for them, and
perhaps a few superstitions about these beautiful back country
residents.
For more information about this or any other Darke County Parks program
or to register, please call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.
