Clear signs of Spring 7 - # 09/51
The Snakes' Head Fritillary. There is a fine colony in the Wilderness Garden at Ham House. I have heard that there is also an outstanding colony of these rare plants at Magdalen College, Oxford. Fortunately the Ham House colony has both pink and white examples. It's worth enlarging the photo to see the delicate pattern on the white. Hurry to see them. They will soon be gone for another year.
