    Dimpled Trout Lily
  • This extremely rare lily found in North Florida near Chattahoochee is rarely found south of North Georgia, as their population has receded to the Appalachian Mountains regions to the north over the millennia. As climate slowly changes, so does soil composition, water availability, the overhead tree canopy species that provide the shade necessary for trout lilies, and general climate as a whole.

  • A perfect detail shot of a dimpled trout lily. easily recognized by their mottled leaves, they bloom in the wintertime in spectacular yellow carpets in old hardwood forests. This particular colony is not only extremely rare, it might be the only colony found in all of Florida in the wild, as this one was near the Alabama-Florida-Georgia tri-state line.

    Dimpled Trout Lily
  • Very rare in this location in South Georgia, this small patch of trout lilies is listed as endangered, and has survived in this location for thousands of years. It is believed that a rare set of circumstances has allowed this colony to persist while the surrounding environment has changed over the centuries. This area still retains the same soil and climate conditions this entire region once shared millennia ago and is now found much further to the north in the Appalachian Mountains.
