Erythronium americanum (yellow trout lily, kondo)
On my recent trip to Van Dusen Botanical Garden, I ran into several plantings of this interesting wildflower. I knew it was some kind of lily but luckily they had a stem in a labeled vase next to the entrance.
The yellow trout lily is native to eastern North America but I've never seen one growing on the west coast. It gets its name from the mottled appearance of its leaves which, supposedly, look like the skin of a brook trout. I must admit, I really have to put my imagination on 'high beam' to see the resemblance myself.

Yellow Trout Lily // Erythronium Americanum blooming all over our neighbours property. We have some in ours but not as much. We’re leaving them untouched, hoping they spread more
