The joy of spring
I always love to see these amazing Fritillary flowers in the spring. They make me think of little stained-glass, hanging lampshades : ) Taken at the Reader Rock Garden, when I called in after a volunteer shift yesterday afternoon.
"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.
