I’m still learning my western North American Erythronium, and Diana Chapman's remark about Erythronium multiscapoideum ‘Cliftoni’ brought back a memory from last year. She wrote: “Most do have a pink flush to them, especially in bud, some have it more than others”. When this plant bloomed here last year for the first time, I thought I was about to see a pink-flowered Erythronium. Nice as it was when in full bloom, I was a bit disappointed that my expectations were ill founded.
