We Used to Call Them Lamb’s Tongue…

…but the “common” name is Fawn Lilly (Erythronium). This is the very first one of the season on my place outside of Eugene, OR. When I was a child, we (my sibs and I) would compete to see who could bring the first bouquet home to Mom. I’m delighted to have a natural flower garden right outside my front door that just lights up in the spring with Lamb’s Tongues, Trillion, Shooting Star (we used to call those Birdbills) and many other Oregon Natives. Now, it just needs to warm up a bit!!
