Fritillaria acmopetala


Over the weekend it was warm in the greenhouse and the F. acmopetala in the greenhouse were dripping a sweet, sticky necatar from the lower portions.


Sweeter then honey, but with a hard to describe, almost musk, clove like flavor.

Interestingly enough, I didn't observe any potential pollinators utilizing it.
