I love your blog so much, I know I don't comment often but you share so many interesting things and your photos are beautiful. I have a set of Mackintosh Flowers note cards and the fritillaries is one of the designs in the set. I was so glad to see the artwork here. I have had the cards for many years and I use them sparingly because I've never seen another set as nice as this, the cards are printed on heavy, glossy paper and they're really large. I hope you have a lovely Easter!Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-78751953692881411832017-04-11T08:49:55.038+01:002017-04-11T08:49:55.038+01:00Spring is so wonderful - I love itSpring is so wonderful - I love itRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-29927043132529717582017-04-10T19:36:27.434+01:002017-04-10T19:36:27.434+01:00I have enjoyed seeing your Fritillarias every spri...I have enjoyed seeing your Fritillarias every spring, you have had a wonderful display this year.

The snakeshead is not indigenous to Canada but we have others, one of which has seeds heads used like wild rice. I'm a fan of the design work of CRM.

Your fritillaries look beautiful - I am merely a garden labourer and had never heard of them until Mrs B introduced us; they are so delicate and graceful. Rusty Duck's right about pheasants - the little tinkers decimated ours the year before last. I saw a bunch (if that's the right collective noun) of ritillaries at Nymans, a NT gardfen in Sussex, just last week.
