Another year of flowers: Glacier lily!

   

Erythronium grandiflorum

Wow, sometimes you get a gift.  I did not plant this, but about ten years ago I planted the Cinquefoil seed that contributed the plant in the background.  A few years later, a single leaf blade came up beside the Cinquefoil.  It looked like a bulb of some kind, so I didn't mess with it, but I sure wondered what it was.  For the last 5-6 years, it has just been that leaf, but today I went down to check on things and... it's a Glacier lily!  One of those native plants that you really cannot dig and move, so you just have to enjoy them where nature decides to share.  I feel very lucky!
