Actually, to be technical--Fritillaria imperialis (Crown imperial or Kaiser's crown) This grows from a bulb and has a strong odor that keeps animals from nibbling on it. Unfortunately, I think it is a zone 5 plant, so wouldn't do well in your area of Alaska.NancyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877425710010276901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810308632573892178.post-47940958912179384862013-04-23T08:08:10.034-08:002013-04-23T08:08:10.034-08:00So pretty!

While we were in Paris, there were only a handful of bulbs flowering and they were all typical ones that we would see here in the states.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402600753591681496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810308632573892178.post-66887718930178808432013-04-23T03:39:42.301-08:002013-04-23T03:39:42.301-08:00As I await another day of snow flurries here in no...As I await another day of snow flurries here in northern Alberta, it was good to see your photos of sunshine and spring flowers!
