The corn lily, also known as false hellebore, thrives in wetland areas, meadows, and mountain slopes. Its large, lance-shaped leaves resemble those of corn, creating a striking visual contrast against its small white or greenish flowers. These flowers grow in dense clusters, forming tall, elegant spikes that rise into the air during late spring and early summer.
Though visually pleasing, corn lilies are toxic to both humans and animals if ingested. Despite this, they play a vital ecological role, providing habitat for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, and helping to stabilize soils and reduce erosion in moist environments, especially near streams and wetlands.
This black and white print captures the unique form and beauty of the corn lily, a plant both captivating, a bit toxic and resilient in its natural habitat.
