Erythronium americanum (Yellow Trout Lily) is a charming perennial boasting nodding, lily-shaped, bright yellow flowers, one per stem, in mid-spring. Each blossom features elegantly reflexed petals, often brushed with purple on the outside, and brownish-yellow anthers. They rise well above the basal foliage of elliptic leaves, softly marbled with purple and bronze. Lovely in groups under deciduous trees, in rock gardens, or near ponds and streams where it will happily multiply. This is a spring ephemeral whose foliage disappears by late spring as the plant goes dormant. Not Revolutium which is pink and on my wish list.
