Amberbell

Erythronium americanum, also called trout lily, yellow trout lily, fawn lily, yellow adder's-tongue, or yellow dogtooth violet, is a member of the Liliaceae family. It is characterized by its gray-green, mottled leaves, which inspired the common name 'trout lily' due to their resemblance to the coloring of brook trout. The species is found in a range that includes parts of the United States and Canada, such as Vermont, Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Labrador, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Brunswick, and others. It was first described in 1808 by Ker Gawl.
