Are the flowers white? Or sometimes pale yellow?

Is "fairy" part of it's common name?

Could it sometimes be considered in the Liliaceae family?

The photograph looks a little like solomon's seal, but the drawing doesn't.

Not Polygonatum odoratum. But has similar shaped flowers and as Rosemarie pointed out the MP is also sometimes listed in the Lily family.
