Snake's head fritillary, Fritillaria meleagris, always attracts attention. No other members of the Fritillaria genus can match this native wildflower for the bizarre and unmistakable colouring of its bell-shaped flowers. These come in various shades of purple and occasionally white, always with a pronounced checked pattern all over. Plants are extremely hardy and trouble-free, and are ideal for growing in a variety of situations including containers, sunny spring borders and in wildflower meadows or areas of long grass. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
Grow Fritillaria meleagris in free-draining soil in light shade. Allow foliage to die down completely after flowering.

"Butterflies are self propelled flowers."
Robert A. Heinlein
The Oregon Swallowtail is the state insect of Oregon. As Wikipedia shares..."It is a subspecies of swallowtail butterfly native to the United States of America, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and south-central British Columbia in Canada.
In 1976, it became one of the first four butterflies that the United States Postal Service placed on a U.S. stamp.
It reproduces twice a year, and can be seen flying from April to September. The butterflies seen toward the beginning of the year are lighter in color than those seen later and blend well with the color of early plants."
