Glacier lily (Erythronium grandiflorum)
First one is by Mike Rogers, July 16, 2008, below Red Buffalo Pass.
Next one is June 30, 2010, in the field of perhaps one million of them near Red Buffalo Pass.
The ones that follow are from the acres of lilies that show up just below Red Buffalo Pass as the snow retreats. The first one shows them coming up right through the snow.
And some young ones, with snow behind.
I like the stem on this baby.
Every July 1 they come out in the millions on the E side of Red Buffalo Pass. This from July 10, 2014.
Next is from July 8, 2016: in the huge field below Red Buffalo Pass
And one from some large fields of them just on the east side of Flat Pass near Vail Pass. June 27, 2020.
And Flat Pass again, June 16, 2021.
