The Regal Crown Imperial (Fritillaria imperialis)

via Head Gardener at the Manor House... on 1969-12-31, 19:00:00

I think one of the more unusual bulbs we have in the spring garden is the regal Crown Imperial. Its flowers are bold, bright, and indeed very stately. Standing tall at about 3 feet high, the colours stand out from the rest of the emerging leaves and bulbs in the borders, and if they are near a path the pretty flowers can be inspected at close quarters. . . .
