I just recently became aware of and learned about trout lilies. They are so delicate and fairy like but probably would not grow well in the hot into the triple digit summer temperatures were I live.
Wow, you pix are definitely the best. Comparisons are odious, but your pix really are the best. That trout lily at the top makes me feel a little bit faint when I look at it.
A gazillion likes on this wonderful essay so full of wisdom brilliant observation, science, poetry and life! The definitive essay on trout lilies- unsurpassable!
Glorious! Thank you for the reminder to pay attention because there is always something new to see and learn. And knowing that trout lily colonies can live so long is amazing. In the Rocky Mountain west, a related species has yellow flowers and is called glacier lily because they bloom so early the bud stalks heat their way through the snow.
What an incredibly beautiful post!!! My devotion today was on gratitude, and although I try to practice that every day, I'm trying to be more mindful of all the things I have to be thankful for today. This is a huge one for me!!! Thank you so much, Karen! Xoxox
I was smiling the whole time I read this, going along with you on your adventure, which it was! A trout lily and butterfly adventure in a place that is deeply familiar to you, but always has something new to show you. Thanks for this gift!
I've never seen or heard of trout lily before. Lovely!
thanks for the white trout lily tour!
Superb Karen! Your words and images resonated so much with me today. :)
Thousands of trout lilies!
Oh the enchantment.
Thank you for your photographs.
(I am off to the mountain tops today to view the total solar eclipse . Blue sky day, right in the path of totality.
Yes, Thank you to the Universe).
This is as beautiful as it is fascinating. Thank you, Karen!

Magic! I am amazed at this whole thing. Choosing to reveal themselves just at the right time.
Trout lilies are one of my favorite flowers. Where I live, they bloom near my birthday!
