Yellow Glacier Lily
Erythronium grandiflorum
49.1057, -120.821
Field Notes
Description:
Delicate yellow lily about 5 - 8 inches tall which grow in masses over damp alpine meadows.
Habitat:
Subalpine meadows on Blackwall Peak, Manning Park, BC. Even though I was a week earlier this year than 2013, the Glacier lilies were almost all finished blooming this year. It has been a very hot July and I think the wildflowers on the mountains are ahead of their normal season.
Notes:
Pojar and MacKinnon says that the glacier lily corms were an important food of the indigenous people of the Interior Plateau of BC.
