Dichelostemma volubile is a species of flowering plant known by the common names twining snakelily and twining brodiaea. This wildflower is endemic to the mountain foothills of California , where it grows in scrub and woodland.
Dichelostemma volubile grows tall, erect, naked stems topped with spherical inflorescences of up to 30 densely packed pink flowers.
