Snake's head fritillary For John Prine
* Just heard of the death of John Prine one of my favourite American songwriters who will be much missed but thanks for all those great songs . This one always makes me smile
In spite of ourselves
In my garden at the moment the star plant are the Snake's head fritillary I guess I have at least 600 flowers out at the moment. Every year I take some photographs but so far I have not managed one I like more than this one I took two years ago
Fritillaria meleagris is a bulbous perennial to 30cm in height, with lance-shaped, greyish-green leaves and 1-2 nodding, bell-shaped purple flowers, the tepals tessellated with pale pink in a checkerboard fashion. Widely naturalised in Britain, but probably not a true native
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
