Erythronium purpurascens, also known as purple fawn lily or Sierra Nevada fawn lily, is a flowering plant in the lily family that is native to California. It can be found in the high mountains of the southern Cascade Range, Coast Ranges, and northern Sierra Nevada regions. This wildflower grows from a small bulb and produces narrow green leaves and one to six flowers on an erect stalk. The flowers have white tepals with yellow bases that turn purple as they age. They bloom in late spring or early summer, often coinciding with the melting of snow at high elevations.
