Landscape Language

Bicolor (adj) – having two colors

“Avalanche lilies are white and glacier lilies are yellow” is a common statement in the park this time of year. For quick identification it is true enough. Glacier lilies (Erythronium grandiflorum) are yellow. Avalanche lilies (Erythronium montanum) are mostly white. However, avalanche lilies are actually bicolor! Their petals have two colors – primarily white but yellow at the base. Avalanche lilies are currently blooming in abundance throughout the subalpine regions of the park.
