Snake's head fritillary / Fritillaria meleagris
I always love to see these amazing Fritillary flowers in the spring. They make me think of little stained-glass, hanging lampshades : ) There are various common names for this flower, some of which I have included in my tags. Taken at the Reader Rock Garden, when I called in after a volunteer shift on 27 April 2016. The sun was peeping through the clouds, so I decided to call in at the garden.
There was a reasonable number of plants in bloom, including a scattering of brightly coloured Tulips. I wasn't sure if I was going to be too early or too late for Tulips, especially as this year has so far been most unusual, weatherwise. There was also a bush of gorgeous pink Hellebore flowers, hanging their heads as they tend to do. There was enough colour and variety of plants to make this visit worthwhile - and it should only get better and better with the coming weeks. The last few days, we have been having plenty of rain, which was much-needed, as Alberta was as dry as a tinderbox. More rain still needed, though.
"Fritillaria meleagris is a Eurasian species of flowering plant in the lily family. Its common names include snake's head fritillary, snake's head (the original English name), chess flower, frog-cup, guinea-hen flower, guinea flower, leper lily (because its shape resembled the bell once carried by lepers), Lazarus bell, chequered lily, chequered daffodil, drooping tulip or, in northern Europe, simply fritillary." From Wikipedia.
