The Lemon Lily is a wildflower that grows only in a few mountain locations on the planet, and it almost disappeared in Idyllwild in the early 1900s due to the "bulb hunters" of the time. The few lilies that remained were primarily in remote locations.

Due to the efforts of a few lemon lily lovers, the descendants of the Idyllwild's Lemon Lilies were located, purchased through community donations, and restored to their creekside homes.

To celebrate the restoration efforts, the Idylllwild community celebrates the Lemon Lily Festival each July.

This short film was an official selection of the Idyllwild Independent Festival of Cinema in 2011.
