Erythronium americanum

Trout Lily is a cheery spring ephemeral that has maroon-mottled leaves and a single nodding yellow flower with petals that curl back on each plant.

Plants take up to 7 years to flower and like to form large colonies creating beautifully vibrant yellow drifts in the (almost) bare forest.

The Trout Lily Mining Bee relies on the pollen from Trout Lily flowers almost exclusively to feed larva.
