the Poetic Charm  Erythroutume 
Do you have a shaded spot in your garden — not quite the place for heavily massed color but rather for 
a few bright accents to make tt come to life? Such ts the ideal spot for Erythroniums. These endearing 
miniatures bloom in the early spring, from mid-February to mid-April in the West, beginning with 
April in the East, and their seemingly endless variations of elf-like shapes, colors, and combinations of 
both are like a gaily costumed woodland ballet out of fairyland. Colonies establish easily when planted 
in shade and woodsy soil with moderate moisture. If you like miniatures at all, they will delight you — 
nay, bewitch you. 
ERYTHRONIUMS are known by many names: LAMB TONGUE, DOG TOOTH VIOLETS, TROUT LILIES—all proof of the poetic fancy they awake in all of us.
