ChrisB:
Ian - I told you I had a photo of the Avalanche erythronium in my calendar from BC, but now I come home, they called it 'white fawn lily'. Is it the same?

ChrisB:
Sorry bout that, I forgot to turn it.  Here it is again:

Hello Chris,
here my first Erythronium for this spring
Erythronium caucasicum
Erythronium dens-canis ssp.niveum

Ian Y:
Hi Chris, thanks for sharing the picture with us.
What you show  is not the avalanche lily which is Erythronium montanum but Erythronium oregonum.
Here is a picture of E. montanum, it has plain green leaves while oregonum has brown patterns on its leaves, there are also differences within the flower which lets me identify your picture.

ChrisB:
Thanks Ian, much appreciated.  It says in the caption that it was taken in Uplands Park, Greater Victoria, in case it is of interest.  Sure do wish they would give botanical names to the plants they picture, they do for the creatures....

Thanks again,  Christine
