Spring break in Oregon equals 2" of rain


Fritillaria crassifolia small form

This is the last of the crassifolia complex I have to bloom. It has the strongest checker pattern of them all, some of the nice bluish bloom and just a hint of yellow on the tips.



Fritillaria recurva
In bud, doing good this year!

Yes, the title of this post is true...pouring cats and dogs as we made our way back from chehalis, Washington for a little spring break get away.

Cheers

Mark
