To me the symbol of Easter and spring time has always been the fawn lily.
Growing up on southern Vancouver Island, they grew in my yard where I played as a child.
Now living in East Van, I suddenly felt the desire to see these lilies in the wild, so I Googled. And where do you think they can be found?
On the Surrey-Langley border no less.
A bus, a SkyTrain, an express bus and a taxi ride later I arrived at my destination.
These delicate and endangered spring wild flowers can be found along the trails of Hi-Knoll Park (19569 Colebrook Rd.).
They are lovely, so please take care.
Just take photos and don’t pick them or step near them.
Just enjoy the sweetness they bring to spring.
