Spring Flowers

Spring has sprung here, too. What was exciting was our secret meadow of
native Fritillaria biflora. My daughter and I took the back way to our
class today, and found the blooms in this intriguing colony. No water
during summer, baking rocky red clay most of the year, and there were at
least a couple of hundred plants at their peak of bloom! Shiny
chocolate colored blooms about 6-8 inches tall. Woo-Hoo!!!
