The giving of May baskets on May Day has disappeared from most of the country in this age of electronics. But the White Trout Lily probably would not have found its way into a May basket for my mom since it can take seven years for a Trout Lily to produce a flower, if the corm ever grows large enough. In the colony of flowers, among the leaves only roughly one percent produce a flower until the corm grows large enough to sprouts two leaves instead of one and blossoms. So I guess my mom gets some dandelions in her May basket instead.
