A Favorite Fritillaria


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

    P.S. Я еще новичок в ведении блога. Вот мой первый опыт: www.prizvaniye.blogspot.ru
