Erythronium revolutum
|
| Erythronium
revolutum is probably
the signature plant of the Dunn Gardens, excluding the rhododendrons that
Ed loved. Native to coastal areas from northern California up into British
Columbia, this plant has reseeded vigorously in the gardens. The leaf patterning
ranges from plain green to heavy mottling of dark brown on green. All erythronium
emerge early and by late May/June are dying down for the season. These bulbs
have coexisted with Cyclamen hederifolium beautifully in the garden,
as the cyclamen have died down by the time the erythronium emerge, and the
new leaves of the cyclamen unfurl in August-long after the foliage of the
erythroniums have shriveled up.
