The Oregon Trout Lily is a beautiful spring ephemeral. It boasts delicate, nodding, cup-shaped flowers, typically yellow to orange-yellow in color, that emerge from a basal rosette of leaves. The foliage usually emerges before or around the same time as the flowers. These plants are often found in shady, moist woodland areas and meadows.
