Fritillaria lanceolata

Chocolate Lily
Fritillaria lanceolata
Liliaceae
Collected: Icicle Canyon 2/6/12
Sample 11

Confectioned by Wonka himself, this Lily was served as dessert for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.  Found in grassy meadows and woodland openings.  The flower rises up above the leaves and nods downwards.  The Pedals are a Chocolate brown with yellow dotted highlights.  From the underside, the pedals absolutely glow in the sunlight.
