Lily Family These lovely lilies have a nice aroma. The Bluff Trail below Norris Dam at Norris Dam State Park in Norris has a fantastic display of Trout Lily flowers in late March or early April. Beaked Trout Lily flowers have yellow anthers, as opposed to the maroon anthers of the Yellow Trout Lily. These plants are usually found in large masses. Perennial Where seen:Norris Dam SP

Lily Family April 3, 2005 Unlike its foul-smelling, maroon-colored relatives, this lovely yellow trillium smells like lemon. The flowers are non-stemmed, or "sessile." These are very numerous at Norris Dam State Park along the Bluff Trail in April.
