Erythronium grandiflorum
Delicate yellow lily about 5 - 8 inches tall which grow in masses over damp alpine meadows.
Subalpine meadows on Blackwall Peak, Manning Park, BC. Even though I was a week earlier this year than 2013, the Glacier lilies were almost all finished blooming this year. It has been a very hot July and I think the wildflowers on the mountains are ahead of their normal season.
Pojar and MacKinnon says that the glacier lily corms were an important food of the indigenous people of the Interior Plateau of BC.
