Each side stem of yellow bellwort produces a single, elongate bell-shaped flower at its tip. The flowers droop on their stem-like pedicels (about 1 " long) such that they open downwards and are often partially hidden by the leaves. Each flower is 1-2" long and consists of six yellow tepals twisted along their length (often with greenish bases), six white stamens with elongated yellow anthers, and a pistil with a three-lobed stigma. The fruit is a three-section capsule that looks (vaguely) like three fat triangles with oval bases, stuck base to base to base. Seeds are freed when the capsule splits. Seed dispersal is added by the attraction of ants to a fleshy, nutrient-rich appendage (an elaiosome) on the seed; the ants carry the seed back to their nest where they eat the elaiosome and abandon the seed.

About

I want to acknowledge the work of a friend and colleague, Dr. Fred Donner. We both share a passion for the flowers in Jackson Park. Fred's website (jacksonparkwildflowers.org) inspired me to build my own website and database; use and enjoy them both.

I am also pleased to thank my ninja web gurus and coders, Lindsey Young and Stefanie Engstrom. This site would not exist without their herculean labors.
