Quite a few of these erythroniums (presumably E. americanum) are blooming today in an area that doesn’t grow daffodils. There have always been a few, but it seems that without the daffodil foliage, there are more of them. If I had blooms in all the foliage, I’d have thousands. I’ve tried digging a bulb or two to bring up into the garden area, and either I never dig deep enough, or they don’t like being moved. Since I can’t keep daffodils in this area, these are a nice replacement.

Hi Mary Lou,
Thanks for the trout lily photo. They grow wild around here as well and they are quite nice to look at. The leaves are edible too, and I have occasionally enjoyed them in salads. A word of caution though as I do remember reading that it is possible for some people to have a reaction to them. My family and I have never had trouble eating the leaves though.
