(Erythronium)

Elegant woodland perennials from the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, erythroniums are grown for their exquisite flowers and for their often strikingly marked leaves. Appearing in spring, the yellow, pink, white, or violet flowers nod from wiry, erect, leafless stems that may be green, purple or brown. Usually one bloom is borne per stem.

An elegant hardy perennial found in moist woodlands from southern British Columbia to northern California, pink fawn lily is grown for its exquisite spring flowers and its dramatically marked foliage. Nodding from wiry, naked stems above paired basal leaves, the pale- to deep-pink flowers have six backswept segments that give them the appearance of taking flight. The yellow-centered blooms are borne one to three per stem. A starburst of yellow anthers protrudes from the gaping blooms. The broadly...

(Beaked Troutlily, Yellow Troutlily)

An elegant hardy perennial found in woodlands from Texas to Ohio, beaked trout lily is grown for its exquisite spring flowers and its strikingly marked foliage. The solitary, up-facing (rather than nodding) yellow flowers perch atop wiry, erect, leafless stems. Resembling small lilies, the flowers have six wide-flaring segments. Their exteriors are brushed with maroon. A starburst of purple-brown or yellow anthers protrudes from the gaping blooms. The broadly lance-shaped, bronze-green, pewter-dappled...
