I am SO happy about these little guys. Like so many other flowers this year I completely forgot I acquired and planted this... useless short term memory.
This was a particularly popular plant in Victorian gardens because of its checkered pattern I believe, I like it because it looks "fairy-like"... yes that's an incredibly gay thing to say but whatever. There's some disagreement in England whether its a wild plant native to England or a garden escapee, although it isn't very abundant in the wild anymore there are still places where it thrives, such as the meadows at Magdelen College, Oxford and the Oxfordshire village of Ducklington,[3] which holds a "Fritillary Sunday" festival. Sounds very PG Wodehouse-ish!
