Fritillaria melagris - Snake's Head Fritillary
Unmapped photos are not selected for
Google Earth or Google Maps
They also grow wild in the UK, and these see in my little garden dear Mira - sometimes producing white ones, which are pretty, but the markings are almost lost. I'm pleased the photo has reminded you of your mother's garden :)))
Hi Amelia Another wonderfull macro of these flowers.they do grow wild in the UK as you said but I have not come across them as yet.I had better keep this incase I dont see any so a Y* for them.Regards Alan
Oh, Amelia ! these are heavenly, I cannot grow them up here, but I remember walking through fields of them when I was 17, station at Halton, by the Chilterns, the meadows there were fantastic!
I have put up some paintings and a few more doors for your perusal
Hi Amelia: You can be glad to have such noble flowers in your UK-garden. Never heard the name "Snake's Head F." Their name in german is translated: Chessboard flower (dedicated to the markings).
We have here some nature reservations with the wild form. They need a special ground to grow, which exists only in few ranges. So the wild Fritillaria is on the 'Red List' of endangered species.
Absolutely beautiful, Amelia. I didn't realise that the one I found in my brother-in-law's garden was wild (and precious!) I viewed this as large as I could and it would inspire Tiffany, I'm sure. Theolfa.
You chose excellent light to show the beautiful, rich colours, Amelia! I've seen pictures (not as lovely as this!), but I've never seen them growing. What a treat! Marilyn
Good morning Alan - I seem to have missed all the comments on this photo :))
Thanks a lot for the Y* [yet again!]. They do grow in the wild, but I have never seen them either. Perhaps I should scatter some seed in a damp spot somewhere - very public spirited eh?
Dear Nick, had I known you were popping [nearly wrote "pooping" there] up to Chester I would have met you for a coffee - that would have been so nice :)))
Good morning Bonnie Lad - are you up yet in this murky weather? Thanks for your comment - you need a damp spot for these little beauties, and I have just the place where they self seed. you are so lucky to have seen them in the wild - I never have :(
So lovely Amelia. Rich colours and delicate blooms, what a combination that is!!
Well done, thanks for sharing this lovely shot. You must have such an interesting and pretty garden.
Good morning Hazel, I bet you forgot that you even commented on this photo! Thank you my dear friend for your lovely compliment. The garden used to be open to raise monies for charity, but since we have been in Norway for the last 2 years, and I only visit the UK every couple of months to visit the family, it is not quite up to scratch. But these little beauties will still be there next spring :))
Hello Bernd, thank you for your lovely compliment. Yes I agree, they resemble little lamps, and, when the sun shines through, even more so. Many apologies for this late reply :))
Good morning @na traviz, thank you. They really are one of the most beautiful of flowers, but I have never seen them growing wild. They do seed around in the garden in the UK, so I suppose that's the nearest I'm going ot get :)))
Good morning, Amelia Royan. I with enormous pleasure and admiration looked over Your gallery! It is perfect! Remarkable pictures and wonderful work. Best Of and Y*!!! The best wishes from Russia.

Very nice shoot Amelia. I like it as well as this lovely, elegant and gentle species.
