Plant-A-Day 2020 (Day 91) Erythronium “Pagoda”

A graceful lily that I planted decades ago in our woodland garden (no idea where it came from). I transplanted it and divided the clump about seven years ago and both divisions have continued to do well. Sadly, I often miss the flowers of these plants because they are tucked out of sight of the windows and I forget to wander out and look at them. However, I chanced upon them today and immediately remembered how beautiful they can be.

These bulbous plants are ephemeral and will be completely gone in a month or so. My 2020 plans will be to drop a handful of organic fertilizer near these clumps and to try to get some better photos this week.
