| The Fawn Lilies light up the trail |
On Sunday, April 16 we had a pleasant surprise
when we had a walk by the Tsolum River. There were carpets of fawn
lilies and
trilliums in bloom along the trails which really brightened up our walk.
The
trails are located behind the Exhibition Grounds off of Headquarters
Road in
Courtenay, B.C. Take the main trail toward the river and we found many
clusters
of fawn lilies on the side trail to the right. If you are handy with a
GPS turn right at this junction - 49 42.284 N 125 00.373 W. You don’t
need to walk very far
before you see the flowers along the trail. We are not sure how long
they will last but if like
early spring flowers check out this area and don’t forget to bring your
camera.A pad to kneel on for getting up close will also be helpful.

| Since these plants are low bring a kneeling pad |

| Trilliums are also out but are not as abundant as the fawn lilies |
