magicmomma > These Canada lilies are one of my favorite flowers and I was not expecting to find them today. It was a total surprise and blessing. They are not 'rare' in Tennessee but are thinly scattered. They are more northernly species and are common up in the cooler climates. Only the 2nd time ever that I've seen them for myself. Found a large colony of them in peak bloom!

They'd be called canyons out west, but here they are called gorges or gulfs.
