Focus on Spring...sneak previews featuring the white fawn lily.

Another photo of a white fawn lily photo I stumbled upon from last year’s photo archive...I noticed many of these sprouting up in the backyard meadow recently, some already with buds on them, can’t wait to capture more pics of these white beauties in the coming weeks.

 

The White fawn lily (Erythronium oregonum) is a captivating Pacific Northwest native with nodding, lily-like white flowers on slender stems with a light overlay of green and burgundy on the outer petals, especially at the base along with brilliant orange-yellow stamens. The green foliage is heavily dappled with a dark eggplant hue...the mottling is reminiscent of a fawn's coloring or that of a trout.
