Need help identifying this multi-petalled E. dens-canis we were given by a friend.

Good morning, John,

It could be called Erythronium dens-canis 'Moerheimii'. In any case it looks like it.  ;)

I agree with Fred - 'Moerheimii' usually makes those multi-petalled flowers.

Thanks so much Frédéric and Maggi.  There are very few named Erythroniums avaible in North America, perhaps a half dozen old dens-canis varieties and the usual 'White Beauty', 'Pagoda' and 'Kondo'.
