The Crown Imperial (Fritillaria imperialis)


The Crown Imperial (Fritillaria imperialis)

I like these flowers but please do not smell them. They truly stink. I had this started in the greenhouse and will leave it in the pot for now.

I grew these when I had the garden down the road, the flowers are lovely, but as you say they smell awful.....

Didnt know they had a pong, but ive never got close enough to have a sniff, too near a Rose shrub.

Very attractive flower, Klahanie. Gorgeous colour too. Pity its not fragrant, but, it's still lovely to see.
