The 'Snake's Head' is our only native fritillary, seen growing in large colonies in (mostly) protected sites.

The pendent flowers are mauve, chequered purple, although some white flowers, chequered...

The exotic appearance is deceptive, as these bulbs are tough as old boots and remarkably easy to grow in well-drained soil in sun/partial shade. This ease of growing is reflected...
