So happy to see the first pink fawn lilies!
 |
| New bud, with one leaf. |
 |
| Bud ready to open, with two leaves. |
 |
| Open pink fawn lily, with bleeding heart leaves. |
 |
| A trio of fawn lilies. Each bulb produces one flower stalk, with one or two blooms. |
The scientific name, Erythronium revolutum, comes from the Greek, "erythros", red, and the Latin species name means "turned back", referring to the petals.
Trilliums next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
¡Qué gusto me da ver los primeros "lirios de los venados", Erythronium revolutum!
- Un botoncito nuevo, con una hoja. (Generalmente hay dos.)
- Un botón listo para abrirse. Con dos hojas.
- Una flor abierta. Con hojas de "corazón sangrante" silvestre, Dicentra formosa.
- Tres plantas. Cada planta produce un tallo largo llevando una o dos flores.
El nombre científico del género, Erythronium viene del griego erythros = rojo, y el nombre de la especie, revolutum, es latino, "revuelta hacia atrás", refiriéndose a la forma de los pétalos.
Mañana, los trilios.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
