About Dichelostemma multiflorum (Benth.) A.Heller

Dichelostemma multiflorum is a species of flowering plant. Its common names are round-tooth snake-lily, many-flower brodiaea, and wild hyacinth; the name wild hyacinth is shared with many other plant taxa. This species is native to California and Oregon, where it grows in hills, mountains, and inland grasslands. It is a perennial wildflower that produces a tall, leafless stem, which is topped by a spherical inflorescence holding up to 35 densely packed purple or pink-purple flowers. Each flower forms a tube around one centimeter long, with six petal-like lobes arranged into a star-shaped corolla. The lobes may curl slightly backward.
