The Alp Lily (Lloydia Serotina):
A beautiful perenial flowering plant of the lily family, growing
in Artic-alpine regions, it's often found growing out of
rockfaces and cliffs. The bright white flowers contain white-
grey or mauve veins, and a yellow/green centre.
The only member of the genus Lloydia to live outside central
and eastern Asia, it is widespread across the Western side of
North America, from Alaska to New Mexico, and can be found
in alpine regions of Europe and Great Britain. In Great Britian
it was originally called the 'Mountain Spiderwort', but is now
known as the 'Snowdon Lily', in Welsh it is called 'Brwynddail Y
Mynydd' (meaning "rush-leaves of the mountain"), in North
America, it is called the common Alp Lily.
