Flower: | Lily, Fawn | Family: | Lily | Genus / Species: | Erythronium oregonum | Notes: | Trout Lily is another common name, and probably refers to the mottled leaves which suggest the colored pattern found on the back of a Brook trout. All the species in the Erythronium genus are sometimes referred to as Dog's-tooth Violets interestingly enough because their corm is shaped like a dog's tooth. | Photo: |
