Fritillaria atropurpurea

NOTE: many of the slideshows and headings might not work right now since Adobe flash player has been discontinued. I will endeavor to reconstruct new ones for this and all my other websites but it will take awhile. Please check back at some time in the future. Here are a few of the pictures. Thank you for your patience, Kay




Spotted Mountain Bells/Chocolate Checkered Lily
This species seems to have many common names upon researching it on the web. These were photographed in Josephine County, O'Brien, Oregon in a wooded meadow by a stream. There were just a few last year, but this year are here in abundance. They are hard to see when not in the sunlight directly as you can see. I loved taking the shots this year with the sun shining through them so one can see all the colors and how beautiful they are.
