Erythronium montanum

Erythronium montanum is our Avalanche Lily, blooming as the snow melts. We have seen it by the millions, covering whole fields in the Olympics, especially along the Obstruction Point Road when the road is first opened in July or August. This flower was photographed along the Obstruction Point Road last year on the day that the road was finally cleared of snow. In fact, we waited for the grader to move as it came back from clearing the last areas of the road.
