Frittilaria at the flower show

Back in February, frittilaria at the NW Flower & Garden show in Seattle—soon appearing in your backyard, if you planted some bulbs.

Delightful frittilaria, also known as “checkered tulips,” are pretty easy to grow in the garden

Interesting flower! I like the way the light is coming through the petals.

Wow! It doesn’t look as if it’s easy to grow…it looks exotic, requiring much care and attention! How wonderful that it doesn’t.

I saw the first frittilaria at a local garden last week. The common variety in the UK is called ‘Snake’s head’.
