Lost in the shuffle


Fritillaria agrestis

It takes a keen eye to spot this one in its native habitat... the green and brown camouflage the flowers...maybe I'm used to smelling the stinky side of life to much to notice the rankness of its odour, because the stinkbells never bother me.



Fritillaria bucharica
The camera plays tricks with this one, I really think you have to call the flower color silver, or white gold.

Been sunny and in the 50's but lows in the upper 20's and I've seen a little frost damage on some flowers.

Lots of blue things blooming and I'll try to share those this weekend if I get around to it.

Cheers,
Mark
