I’m always amazed at how many different types of lilies I see at local gardens. Here are a few photos I’ve edited recently of various members of the lily family .

Spring Wildflowers – Trout Lilies

by hankinslawrenceimages | Aug 21, 2019 | Liliaceae Family, Wildflowers

Trout Lilies are one of the wildflowers I look forward to seeing and photographing each years. Some years, I consider myself lucky if I find one or two to photograph. This year I found hundreds if not thousands of trout lilies to photograph, mainly at Jenkins Arboretum in Pennsylvania. I’ll definitely head back there next spring in search of more trout lilies

The yellow trout lilies (Erythornium americanum) are the more common ones to find here in the middle Atlantic area. The white trout lilies (Erytrhonium albidum) are much harder to find.

Spring Wildflowers – A Few More Trillium

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jul 24, 2019 | Liliaceae Family, Wildflowers

And in case you didn’t get enough trillium photos the other day, here are a few more photos of one of my favorite spring wildflowers

Trillium Grandiflorum at Winterthur Gardens

Deep Rose Purple Trillium – Trillium grandiflorum deep rose trilllium – photographed at Mt. Cuba Center. I’m assuming these are a cultivar of the usual white Trillium grandiflorum. While those do turn pink once they are pollinated, it’s not this shade of pink. I can find no record of a native Deep Rose Purple Trillium in any of my wildflower books.

Danceline Tulips

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jun 19, 2019 | Liliaceae Family

While I was photographing tulips at Longwood Gardens, I fell in love with the Danceline Tulips. They reminded me of some of the ranunculus I photographed a few years ago – white petals with bits of purple. Instead of purple – these amazing tulips have varying amounts of red on the petals.
