Fritillaria meleagris

 




I found these striking flowers in Anglesey Abbey near the lode mill. I just loved their regular geometric pattern, which looks a bit like a chessboard or stone flags so it makes sense that one of their common names is 'chequered daffodil' or 'chequered lily'. 


I painted this flower on a small postcard size watercolour pad that my son gave me for my birthday; it's just the right size for a small study.
