Sierra Fawn Lily (Erythronium multiscapideum)

The Sierra fawn lily (Erythronium multiscapideum) is a California-native plant which is endemic to foothills of the northern part of the state. Like bitterroot (Lewisia rediviva), this beautiful wildflower has a strong affinity to serpentine, which is California's state rock.
