Erythronium albidum

Tidy and attractive blue-green leaves, with pale brown mottling. There is just one flower on a 10cm stem. This is white, dusted with pinky-fawn on the outside and with a lovely yellow throat inside. Rarely the flower can shade towards either pink or blue with age.

Early, miniature and with its own quiet appeal. This is NOT the usual form of commerce. It is a cultivated, stoloniferous clone originally from Canada. Left undisturbed, in full sun, flowering is regular and increase is pleasing.
