I thought I would just post something interesting that I've been observing. There are two varieties of False Solomon's Seal. (I hate it when they do that in naming flowers--if it's "false," what is it really?)
The primary one still blooming at Lone Pine looks like this:
 |
Smilacina racemosa |
I want to revisit this one again later this summer, when it forms a cluster of berries. There is another form called Starry False Solomon's Seal that you may come across elsewhere; Lynn and I saw a lot of it in West Glacier.

Smilacina stellata |
I guess there is a "true" Solomon's Seal Lily that grows in the eastern US. Just a little FYI.
