Pink Lily of the Valley Bulb (Convallaria majalis Rosea) - 1 pc.

Lily of the valley is a perennial herb with a thin, rounded, almost three-edged, leafless flowering stem and a creeping horizontal rhizome. At the base of the stem, 2, rarely - 3 leaves with a membranous sheath develop, up to 20 cm long. They are entire, oblong, elliptical and pointed, with longitudinal venation and long petioles. At the top of the stem, in racemose inflorescences, the flowers are single, rarely double. They are located in the axils of small whitish, linear and lanceolate bracts, with the inflorescence having up to 20 flowers. The flowers are white, bell-shaped, drooping with short petioles, bisexual, with 6 fused corolla petals and 6 stamens.

The fruit is a globular, red, many-seeded berry (small fruit); it is not eaten because it is highly poisonous. Also, the flowers, although they have a very pleasant smell and the plant is melliferous and medicinal, contain the poisonous substance Convallatoxin, and to one degree or another - all other parts of the plant, including the leaves and rhizomes. Convallatoxin can cause an increase in blood pressure, followed by arrhythmia and death.
