Spring Flowers: Fawn Lilies

Three of us got together at the Tla’amin Hatchery on April 13th to see the White Fawn Lilies in bloom. We walked along the creek and were soon rewarded with the nice blossoms.  There were not as many this year as other years.

We also saw Bleeding Heart and Salmonberry in bloom.

We then drove to Gibsons Beach to see the Pink Fawn Lilies. A small patch, but a rare find in our area.

By splitting the trip into two days a couple of weeks apart, we were able to take advantage of the different times the flowers bloom.  This was also why we had to advertise dates to be arranged.  All we can do is to know approximately when to go.
