This is one of the most deeply enigmatic wildflowers we’ve encountered, a mysterious forest dweller, blooming as a large, white, ghostly apparition for a brief window of time in the spring, then disappearing back underground to a seemingly infinitely-long lived hidden bulb.

It’s like a dream, making you wonder if the plant was really ever there.

Fawn lilies (which occur across the northern Pacific rim), are apparently edible, although we can’t imagine eating one. The giant white fawn lily, one of our more widely distributed species produces interesting leathery, reptilian leaves that are mottled in color – mostly green and brown – a kind of dappled camouflage perhaps, like a sleeping fawn in the forest.

Occurring from British Columbia south to California, this plant typically appears on rocky ground in pristine coast range mountains, rain forests, and forest clearings. Yet, it probably once was more common elsewhere – in breezy low elevation meadows and prairies –places without summer heat – but where more exposed to human observers, it may have been harvested to exhaustion, paved over, or fed upon by beasts and boars. All of that said, it can probably grow in a Seattle or Portland backyard with some care and protection.  

The precise germination and growth requirements of this plant are a mystery to us. Like other bulb producing plants we recommend trying to sow in late summer or fall, outside, in containers that are left exposed to the rain and elements in partial shade, all winter. Seedlings usually emerge very briefly in the first spring, as a tiny, single, grass-like stalk (so small you might miss it if you are not paying attention). These little green tendrils appear for mere days or weeks, before retreating underground to remain dormant for the next 11 months. The second year they repeat this, but are slightly bigger, with a few more leaflets, again for only a brief few days or weeks. The third year they do the same, but are slightly bigger still. By the 3-to-4-year time frame there is usually a small but recognizable little bulb that can be carefully and gently transplanted into a permanent location. From there, expect another several years before the first plants emerge. This is not a instant-gratification species. It is one that can be a challenge even to germinate.  

Giant white fawn lily seems to prefer well-drained soil, and at maturity is a bit over 1-foot in height.

Approximately 30 seeds (0.2 grams).

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .
