One sign of spring in the Southern Gulf Islands are the beautiful wildflowers that bloom in late March and early April. On North Pender Island, Roesland in the Gulf Islands National Park is know locally for its amazing display of Fawn Lilies. This year was one of the best that I can recall with hundreds of the gorgeous lilies in a number of large clumps. Words don’t do them justice, photos do!
