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).

One of the essential references for scholars and humanists
Format: Paperback
I got the 1972 PEPP as a high school student (and self-imposed "poet"). I was cured of being a poet by time, but reading through PEPP like an evergreen sampler plate made me educated in prosody, forms, theories of poetry, the history of genres, national literatures, and more. When I went to college, my professors kept asking which expensive prep school I had gone to, because no one came as well prepared as I was. The NPEPP was not quite as inspiring, but this edition is thrilling. Get it. Open it and start grazing. This is not a book as much as it is a field to wander in for years. It works as traditional reference -- answering questions on specific lemma -- but it also works as a delightful resource.

Excellent Reference Book!
Format: Paperback
I don't think this book was meant to be read cover to cover. If it is, the reader better start reading at an early age because there are over 1,000 pages and print is small. However, the book is an excellent reference and provides data that other similar books do not cover. It is a worthy investment.

The definitive reference
Format: Kindle
The definitive reference. It can be a bit hard to use if you're not up on the jargon, but it's an invaluable work if you are interested in the technical aspects of poetics.
