| A fawn lily on March 28 |
On Saturday March 28 we decided to check the
fawn lilies and other wildflowers along the Tsolum River in Courtenay. Usually
we head down to this area in April but we thought this year we would explore
this area abit earlier and we weren’t disappointed. The delicate fawn lilies
and trilliums are starting to open up and the show will only get better over
the next couple of weeks.
The
area we go to is the trail network located behind the Exhibition Grounds off of
Headquarters Road in Courtenay and there is lots of parking. Take the main access
trail (really a road) toward the river and we found many clusters of fawn
lilies on the trails to the right. You don’t need to walk very far before you
see the flowers in bloom along the trail and under the trees.

So if you want to see some colouful
wildflowers in this strange time we are in of Covid 19 this area will brighten
your day. If you are into pictures you
might want to bring a tripod for your camera and something to kneel on since
the carpets of flowers are best photographed low to the ground and the ground
can be wet. If readers know of other local spots to see flowers let us know in
the comments section below and stay safe.
