Erythronium Festival - Talk and Walk with Ian Young
In mid-April the flowering of Erythronium revolutum, commonly known as the 'trout lily', creates a unique experience. These woodland glories bring elegance and colour to the spring succession of Rhododendron, Azalea and flowering bulbs. The right conditions at Inverewe mean they grow in abundance, producing large naturalistic colonies with a flowering time from 10 days to 3 weeks depending on the spring temperatures.
Join Ian Young on a Talk and Walk to see the Erythroniums at Inverewe with an expert.
14.00: Introduction and talk in Osgoods
15.00-16.30: Walk in the garden
