This short Fritillaria, called Checkered Lily' is famous for the cross-cross pattern in its petals. At only 10", blooming in mid-spring, these are great ornaments for the front edge of the spring garden. Dependably perennial.

Some more pics of wild flowers growing near my house. Ragwort Wild Violets Fire Pink This is one of my favorites. I remember my Dad picking some while he was logging in the mountains and bringing them home to me when I was was a very little girl. Cinquefoil These are very small, I was nearly laying on the hillside to get this photo. The next 2 I actually stopped the car on the side of the road about a mile or so from the house to get. Wild Geranium These are all over growing on the road…
