Snakes Head Fritillary

Great Photo Amy :)

Thanks Jaque , I have quite a nice clump of these in my grassy area where the fruit trees grow , i,m pleased with the way they are spreading :o)

They sound Lovely :)

Wonderful, like the pattern on the petals quite funky!

Ooh lucky you Amy, these are so interesting to see....have you seen the white ones too?

Lovely little plant.

I love fritillaries. The white ones are nice if you can get them.

I didn't realise the white ones were a different plant! I bought the normal purpley ones and white ones have sprung up in the tub alongside it. I thought they were mutations or something :)

Me to Gee.... Janey .. Lindak.... I have a group growing in the grass ..they are all purple except one which is white ....... I had convinced myself that I had a something rare untill I saw that you all have them ..... LOL ..

Gorgeous arent they Amy, thanks for directing me to your photos :-)

Thanks Dawn .. :-)

Hi Amy, I've just read a comment on Spritz's recent photo of F.meleagris and apparently they seed freely and can be collected. Just thought I'd mention. I hope mine flower :-)

Thanks Dawn , I missed that , I will have a look , I hope yours will flower for you to :o)

Well when I dug them up they were shooting Amy, so there's hope.
