snake's head; Fritillaria meleagris
Wild Snake’s Head Fritillarie (Fritillaria meleagris) Among the cuckooflowers (Cardamine pratensis), bloom in the dewy grasslands near Zwartewaterland, Overijssel, the Netherlands. This rare and delicate species thrives in the moist, nutrient-poor meadows of the Zwarte Water floodplain — one of the few places in the Netherlands where it still occurs naturally. The area is known for its traditional hay meadows, which are managed in a way that supports these vulnerable spring bloomers.
