Snake's head fritillary, Fritillaria meleagris.
I find fritillaries charming and fascinating but this is the only one that thrives in my garden. Lots of the dark chequered forms this year but I've not seen any of the white and green ones yet.
Enjoy your last day of winter, and this #fritillaria Lap dog provided for scale. #bernese #Berner #BerneseMountainDog #dogsofmastodon #mendocinocounty #norcalwinter
#Fritillaria michailovskyi. They are normally deep maroon for 2/3 of the petal, with a gold edge, but this was their first year in my garden and they came up mostly gold with maroon specks. The next year, they had returned to type. Of all the Fritillaria I've tried, they have returned and multiplied best.
