W is for Wonderful White (+4 insets)

(+4 inset images above)

This is the elegant and beautiful Oregon Fawn Lily, which blooms here in March. The purple version, the Henderson's Fawn Lily, grows on our property, but to see the white species I need to walk along the ridge line trail behind our house. About a quarter mile away I find them here and there, and they grow fairly profusely about half a mile away, near the far end of the trail. These flowers range in color from a luminous off-white to a light creamy-yellow and grow only about 6-8" off the forest floor.

Update:
I was planning to do another A-Z project, but I'm going to put that on hold. My A-Z partner, Chrissy, suggested doing a series on different colors, but I also want to begin posting pictures from my garden. So far I have California Poppies in yellow and cream, a brand new cream Anemone, tiny purple snap dragons, and some little white daisies. To begin the show, about two weeks ago, "False Sunnies" began blooming, and these seeds were given to me by my friend Pam J!

Explored on July 5, 2014. Highest placement, #1.

I really love the dark background for the wonderfully white Lily. What a beautiful flower growing in the wild there. Lucky you! The red and yellow pattern inside are so lovely. It´s majestic, don´t you think? I bow to this beautiful flower and I bow to the photographer!!! Have a nice weekend!
