Fritillaria
These darling checkered tulips (not really, but that’s what they’re sometimes called) were enjoying a beam of sunlight at the recent NW Flower & Garden Show in Seattle, WA. #NWFGS
Fritillaria, or checkered tulip, can be seen in antique still-life paintings, and is easily grown in Pacific NW
Linking up with Our World Tuesday, Macro Monday, Ruby Tuesday 2, Tuesday’s Wordless Wednesday, Floral Bliss Wednesday, Floral Friday, Photo Friday, Friday Just Be, Shadow Shot Sunday 2, and Pink Saturday. Thanks for your visit here and hope to see you again soon.
I like either name for this flower, and the shadows here are wonderful.
waiting for spring to arrive to bring all the flowers back to my gardens…beautiful shadow shot!!
ps….I also would like you to please consider joining me on Fridays for my just BE meme. I started this past Friday, I’m asking people to post a photo of something from the week that made them take pause, to be in the moment…to just BE. Hope to see you there. robin.
Isn’t that amazing? A checkered tulip!

[…] at the NW Flower & Garden show last week, along with fritillaria, or checkered tulips (see below). Their light blue color was very sweet to see, and will be perfect for an Easter nosegay. […]
Waiting for my fritillaries to show up – we have still maybe 40 cm of snow 🙂 Happy International Women’s Day to all!
