We expect to find Glacier Lilies at the edge of snow banks in a sub-alpine or alpine setting (as in the top photograph), but it comes as a surprise to most of us that Glacier Lilies do equally well at 8,000 feet in Oak and Ponderosa woods. In the western San Juan National Forest in Colorado, crowds of Glacier Lilies commonly surround the base of islands of Gamel's Oak and Ponderosa Pines in meadows. They also scatter themselves in smaller numbers in heavier Oak and Pine forests. |
