Mahogany Fawn Lily (Erythronium revolutum) - Description
Erythronium revolutum is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae which is known by several common names, including mahogany fawn lily, coast fawn lily, and pink fawn lily. It is native to the west coast of North America from coastal Northern California to British Columbia. It is most abundant within 100 miles (161 km) of the coast. The plant is found in moist places such as streambanks, bogs, and wet forest understory.
