A North American wildflower with drooping, bell-shaped yellow flowers that grows in woodlands and meadows.
From 'bell' (the shape of the flower) and 'wort' (Old English 'wyrt,' meaning plant or herb). The name directly describes the plant's most striking feature—flowers that hang like tiny bells.
Bellworts are actually in the lily family despite not looking much like lilies, and their drooping flower shape helps protect pollen from rain—nature designed them to ring true to their name!
