I’ve never seen glacier lilies before. We have tiger lilies later in the year but not this kind. Very pretty flowers.

We have tiger lilies here too. I think glacier lilies (or avalanche lilies) are native to your region too. They should be starting to bloom at the edge of the forests.

I don’t get out into the “real” wilderness enough.

They’re beautiful and a joy to see. Our trout lily (Erythronium americanum) is cousin to your glacier lily and looks a lot like it but I rarely see pure white trilliums. I’d love to see more of them here!

I’ve seen photos of trout lilies, but have never seen one. These trilliums are trillium ovatum and seem to be native only in the northwest US and western Canada.

Beautiful shots.
I love the 1st shot of the Glacier Lily. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.

Glacier Lilies are very plentiful here and they are one of the most popular early spring wildflowers. They were a family favorite that I can remember from childhood.

I don’t think I ever could get tired of these flowers. Of course, when I saw the glacier lily, I thought, “What’s up, Tiger Lily?” Even if I hadn’t known the name, the relationship would have been obvious. It’s neat that they’re common enough there that they’re part of your memories of home. Some flowers are just special that way.

There is something special about all lilies, some quality that makes them memorable.

Wonderful lighting on the erythroniums – night time? – it brings out their exquisite beauty. Such gorgeous blooms! Nature is infinitely amazing.

Yes, the flowers here are a bit ahead of yours there, aren’t they! This past week they have really begun to bloom. Today even the Arrow-leaved Balsamroot started to bloom. It’s a wonderful time of year!
