  2. I haven't seen wild tiger lilies since I was a kid and saw a ditch full of them in Saskatchewan! No, wait, I lie -- I saw some in Jasper National Park within the last 10 years. They were near the entrance/exit to the park and as soon as I drove past the exit gate, they were gone. Wildflowers like crocuses and tiger lilies will only grow on unbroken virgin soil and there's not much of that left around anymore, except on CPR land and in national parks.

    Wishing you lots of exciting things to photograph in 2023! Happy New Year!

    1. I saw maybe half a dozen small bunches of native tiger lilies near Sirko, Manitoba. The ones shown here were growing in a small woodland next to a churchyard. I also hadn't seen any since I was a kid growing up in southeastern Saskatchewan.

      I was surprised to see a couple of areas recently where prairie croci are making a comeback...the first near Maple Creek, Saskatchewan and the second near Cappon, Alberta and both in old churchyards.

      Happy New Year Debra!
