Brand new for Spring 2023: trout lily pins! I'll have these at Birds in the Hills on Saturday and can also offer custom versions in multiple sizes.
.
The herb community is the most diverse layer of the mixed mesophytic forest. What ground-layer species might be appearing next?

Erythronium americanum (yellow trout lily, kondo)
On my recent trip to Van Dusen Botanical Garden, I ran into several plantings of this interesting wildflower. I knew it was some kind of lily but luckily they had a stem in a labeled vase next to the entrance.
The yellow trout lily is native to eastern North America but I've never seen one growing on the west coast. It gets its name from the mottled appearance of its leaves which, supposedly, look like the skin of a brook trout. I must admit, I really have to put my imagination on 'high beam' to see the resemblance myself.

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten out. Too long a while. By row:
(Yellow) Trout lily (Erythronium americanum, Liliaceae)
Little brown jug (Hexastylis arifolia, Aristolochiaceae)
Bloody butcher (Trillium cuneatum, Melanthiaceae)
Rue anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides, Ranunculaceae)
Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum, Berberidaceae)
These are all a week old, and the trout lilies are already (almost) all bloomless — they ain’t called ephemerals for nothing. I am absolutely thrilled for the return to bloom of our local Hexastylis offerings, and the trilliums are of course a favorite too. An excellent month for mottled leaves.
Many thanks to @krieper for the use of her photos in rows 1, 3, and 5. Much credit also to these deciduously wooded hillsides, which have previously given us some beeches and their drops.
