Each spring, White Trout Lily graces the woodland stage for a brief but beautiful performance that's worthy of celebration. This delicate wildflower almost appears to be taking a bow, with the gracefully arched neck of its stem topped by a nodding flower with white petals. The dappled green and purple pair of leaves stretch out on either side of the stem like small wings or arms raised to complete the “ta-da!” effect. Add a short-but-sweet theatrical spring flair to your garden, and be prepared to applause.
