One of the most beautiful lilies you can grow, making spreading colonies of large, fragrant, golden flowers with very prominent golden stamens which appear reliably early each spring as the snow melts. In the wild it can be found in subalpine mountain meadows, slopes, and clearings from California to Alberta to New Mexico, but also at low elevations in the Columbia River Gorge. Bulbs are eaten by grizzly bears and also the native American tribal folk, but we do not recommend this.......... ... Learn More

Exceedingly rare and equally gorgeous, the strikingly attractive, silver-foiled leaves of this plant would be worth growing even if it did not flower. However they sit below multi-flowered spikes of crystalline white blooms, each of which has a deep yellow throat. These flowers have dark yellow anthers, which easily distinguishes them, visually, from its nearest relative, E. californicum, and as the flowers mature so a pink tinge develops in the petals. The whole flower is redolent with the scent of Citrus blossom. Rare in the wild and limited to serpentine soils, it is found in California at around 500m. It is very rarely seen in cultivation , but is probably the best of all of the Californian species. ... Learn More

Gorgeous, fragrant, nodding, pale-violet flowers with the very centre of the flower being deep blackcurrant purple.

Most attractive to pollinating insects, they grow well in dappled shade, where the attractive glossy, dark green, brown/white mottled leaves appear in pairs, starting to emerge towards the end of February. This rare gem is native to the Siskiyou Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California. ... Learn More

White flowers, ageing to palest pink, have recurved tepals which face the ground so that their points face upward, both the flower and the throat being enhanced with strong orange to brown marks. It has a striking resemblance to Erythronium revolutum, with widely split, recurving style branches, which are unique to these two, and it is quite as attractive and desirable as that fabulous species. The large, heavily mottled leaves are lightly bronzed. ... Learn More

Enormous, deep wine-red flowers, bear chrome yellow rather than blue anthers, and open above heavily patterned leaves. Flowering at the end of April or beginning of May, it is a very distinctive species from Siberia, and this gives away the fact that it really does like it cold, doing best in cool humid light shade in a cold spot, with a humus rich soil. One of the largest of the Old World species, this gem rivals some of the US species for their title of biggest in the genus. ... Learn More
