Fawn Lily
The genus Erythronium, also known as fawn lily, trout lily or dog-tooth violet, pop up all over the forest floors at Willow-Witt Ranch in late spring. They are one of the first wildflowers to bloom on the mountain.
Fawn lilies are often about 5 inches tall, with blooms no more than 2 inches across. Their leaves are green and mottled, gathering at the base of the stem.
They bloom in shades of purple and gold/white and can be found throughout the Pacific Northwest. They are pollinated by native bees and become dormant once again during the summer.
Come visit Willow-Witt Ranch to see these ephemeral beauties before they disappear once again.
