Snake’s head fritillaries found on Calton Hill

By Admin on 23 March 202523 March 2025

We found some snake’s head fritillaries (Fritillaria meleagris) on Calton Hill on 23 March 2025. They were apparently garden escapees. These plants, belonging to the lily family (Liliaceae), are commoner in southern England than Scotland. They are native in central Europe.
