Honeymoon Bay Ecological Reserve spring 2024







April, and the call of the wild pink fawn lily beckons! This showy flower, Erythronium revolutum, and trillium were out, with a splash of red from a very few bleeding hearts, were of note on my first visit on 20240417. I can not say it was at peak pink fawn lilies, but in the sunny west side, they were in full bloom, and under forest canopy, the flowers were just erupting.

Returning on 20240508, three weeks hence, the pink was almost completely gone and our lilies are putting up seedheads. And the next phase of flowering is underway. (First 20 shots are of the first visitation and those, thereafter, are of my last visit.)
