On a snowy day like today, it's great to look back at the blooms I photographed just a week ago.
Fritillaria meleagris, a spring flowering bulb of the lily family, 12-15" tall. Needs a moist, well drained soil rich in humus. Therefore, not a plant for my garden (these photos were taken at Denver Botanic Gardens)!
I love the checkerboard patterning on the petals--can you see it?

Здравствуйте, Jocelyn!
У Вас прекрасный сад!
Мой муж также увлекается цветами. И рябчики (Fritillaria) и тюльпаны (tulips) - тоже одни из любимых цветов. Нам тоже нужно сделать foto!
Всего хорошего!
Людмила

Greetings, Luidmila!
Thanks for stopping by The Art Garden; flowers truly are a global language.
And, yes, I know that any photos that you can include in your new blog will be greatly appreciated by your readers.
Good luck with your blogging adventure, and happy gardening,
Jocelyn
