Birds are chirping in the morning, the days are getting longer and colorful flowers are blooming in the fields. But it's not just crocuses and daffodils that are sprouting. Edible wild plants such as wild garlic, goutweed and even daisies can also be found in meadows and forests. Before spring was actually called "spring", it was referred to as "Lent" in Old English.

The lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) is a plant species from the species-poor genus Convallaria in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae). In German-speaking Switzerland, the common name Maieriesli is also used. It was voted poisonous plant of the year in 2014. The lily of the valley has two to three leaves and grows to a height of 10 to 30 cm. 

Nature is awakening after a cold and snowy winter. The snow melts and the first small flowers appear. The sun's rays warm the meadows and forest around St. Moritz and invite you to go outside.
