  • Bigelow's nolina in full bloom in Southern Califonia's Mojave Desert. Historically the stalks of this unusual member of the lily family were an important food source for the Coahuila Indians, who ate them after being roasted over a fire pit.

  • Extremely common throughout North America and easily overlooked, this native lily with small nondescript white flowers can be found mostly around mountain forests up to around 9000 feet in elevation. While the berries may be considered edible, some people complain of an upset stomach after eating them. The local Blackfeet Indians have been known to use a powder made of the roots of this plant to treat wounds. These ripe berries were found above Petty Creek in Alberton, Montana on a rocky mountain slope.

  • Sometimes referred to as beargrass, this native desert species is actually a member of the lily family, even though it has a striking resemblnce at first to members of the yucca family. Found primarily in the Mojave Desert of Southern California, it is also found in limited numbers in Arizona's Sornoran Desert. Unusual for plants that grow in very dry, arid locations, the Bigelow's nolina is one one of the very few evergreen plants that grows in it's habitat. This group of flowering nolinas were photographed in Califonia's Joshua Tree National Park in the early spring morning sunlight.

  • This unlikely member of the lily family is easily overlooked. Tiny white flowers, low growth, and most often-unnoticed as green forest carpeting, this extremely adaptable water-loving perennial can be found all over Canada, and almost all over the United States except for Texas and the Southeastern states.
    Star Solomon's Seal
  • A very common sight on the lower slopes of the Cascades Mountains, the false Solomon's seal is a very common meber of the lily family. This one was photographed in the forest on the southern slope of Mount Hood in Oregon.
