Snake's Head Fritillary

I adore this flower. It's chequerboard burgundy pattern gives it an 'otherworldly' look and the stems are so elegant and tall with the delicate grass like leaves staggered along the stem.  They are just at their peak in the garden at the moment and at 40cm high they look perfect in a tall thin vase.








 





A doubled headed one I picked this morning - like finding a four leaf clover!

    Those are really beautiful. The deconstruction is aesthetically pleasing and pleasingly scientific.
