I was originally going to make this picture my 365, but when I finished the close-up image, this view just didn't seem as showy! Do you prefer this version or the close up?
Oregon Fawn Lilies are in the genus, "Erythronium", which includes the beautiful
"Henderson's Fawn Lily" that I posted a week or so ago. There are 20-30 species in this beautiful group of perennial plants, and they grow from tooth-like bulbs in forests and meadows throughout the Northern Hemisphere. I was amazed to find that you can purchase bulbs for sale of this species and many others!!
