This unusual looking flower has a beautiful name, True Lover’s Knot but is also called Herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia) and is as one of the names suggests, a herb. In Swedish it’s called ‘Ormbär’ and had a bit of a bad reputation in the old folklore. Growing in the dark forest grove and it’s unusual appearance made people reluctant to touch it. Will give you quite a stomach ache if taken for a blue berry and eaten, more than five, contact a doctor.
Embrace diversity, ha de Gött!

Yes, they are even if if serious incidents are rare. Apparently tastes really bad.
