they flower early spring in England. Like damp shady places. A bulb. you get various coloured flowers this is the most usual one. Some are cream and some a paler shade of purple. Bulbs will increase over time in the right location. Look in the bulbs section at your garden centre. Julie

I thought this plant was beautiful as well. I also do cross stitch. Here is one that I did that I think is suitable for this site:
If you reap what you sow, make sure it's Love that you grow.
Have a great day everyone, and thaks, anonynous, for the i.d.

I just read this about this plant........(Heirloom, 1572). Also called the Snake's Head Fritillary, this 12-inch plant sports long, grassy foliage and pendulous bell-shaped flowers uniquely checkered with yellow, white, rose and burgundy. One of the longest-cultivated Fritillaries in history, once native to flood plains throughout Northwest Europe, it is now losing its hold in the wild due to population growth and destruction of habitat. This unique treasure grows well in damp, sandy loam in sun and will naturalize by self-seeding itself here and there around the garden. It is ideal for rock gardens and tucking into small garden nooks and crannies.

That is really cool!! Been around a long time!!!!!!!
