I posted a photo of some Glacier Lilies yesterday. Here are some close-ups taken several weeks earlier near Washington Pass in the North Cascades.

When I hiked the Chain Lakes trail near Mount Baker with one of my sons the early wildflowers were starting to open including these Glacier Lilies.

The Large-flowered Trillium is one of the earliest wildflowers to bloom in Michigan. We photographed them in several place, this in Dowagiac Woods Nature Sanctuary where they carpeted the ground (see insets).

These are Large-flowered Trilliums at Dowagiac Woods Nature Sanctuary in southern Michigan. They grew there by the thousands in a mixed hardwood forest.

These Trillium grandiflorum were photographed at Dowagiac Woods Nature Sanctuary in southern Michigan. They carpeted the ground in the wetter area of the sanctuary, often growing with Skunk Cabbage.

One of our spring-blooming wildflowers and photographed last spring in Washington Pass in the North Cascades. Glacier Lilies, Erythronium grandiflorum, bloom just as the snow is melting and often through the snow. The snow was gone when this was photographed but it had been very wet in the pass the night before.

Glacier Lilies, Erythronium grandiflorum, bloom just as the snow melts and sometimes through the melting snow. They are one of our favorite wildflowers and we go to see them every spring in the Cascades. This one, however, was photographed in Mount Robson Park on a backpacking trip there in 2010.

Erythronium grandiflorum, the Glacier Lily blooms in the mountains at the edge of the snow melt and sometimes through the snow. They can be seen at different altitudes from April into August and are one of our favorite wildflowers. These were photographed in Washington Pass along the North Cascades Highway last spring, an area where we go every year to see them, though they can be seen elsewhere as well, notably along the Obstruction Point Road in Olympic National Park where they bloom by the millions in late July and early August. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/08/highway-20-through-cascades-and-eastern.html

The Glacier Lilies, Erythronium grandiflorum, are well-named since they bloom as the snow melts and often bloom through the snow. These were photographed in Washington Pass along the North Cascades Highway at the edge of the snow melt and after a very wet night.

This was photographed on one of our frequent trips through the passes of the North Cascades, in this case, Washington Pass on the North Cascades Highway. The day was very dark and wet and there was still a lot of snow in the pass, but these were poking their way through the snow and blooming by the thousands along the road. For those who are interested the botanical name of this wildflower is Erythronium grandiflorum.

One of our favorite spring wildflowers, it blooms at snow-melt time. At high elevations that can be mid to late summer, as in this case. This was a protected location and there was a lot of snow left as well as a lot of mosquitoes. The bugs and a strong breeze made photography difficult and meant that we did not stay very long to admire the flowers. The botanical name for this beauty is Erythronium grandiflorum. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/08/near-greenw...
