These perennial flowers are also in the buttercup family and have several bright yellow sepals that many may mistake for their petals. These sepals protect the actual petals inside however, of which there are five to 15 of. They are a bit tulip-like in their appearance.

The water Forget-Me-Not (also known as the true Forget-Me-Not) is specific to Sweden and is locally referred to as Förgätmigej. The Forget-Me-Not, in the borage family, is the provincial flower of Dalsland, which is in the southwest of Sweden. They are small flowers that grow in clusters and can create small areas of ground cover. The blooms are only about the size of a dime.
Lily of the Valley
Liljekonvalj is the Swedish name for these fairy-like, bell-shaped blooms. They are native to the eastern-central province of Gästrikland. The sweet smelling flowers are often found spread over a large area of a forest floor, since their root system grows to be quite extensive. The leaves are very large compared to the flowers, are grooved and non-glossy and the flowers grow on a stem in a spiked inflorescence formation. Five to 15 flowers may grow on one inflorescence. The bells are white and composed of six petals that curl up and out at the ends, giving the flowers the appearance of little bonnets.
