The Crown imperial or Kaiser’s Crown is a member of the genus Fritillaria, family Liliaceae. It grows to about 1 meter (3 feet) in height, and bears lance shaped, glossy leaves, at intervals along the stem. It bears a prominent whorl of downward facing flowers at the top of the stem., topped by a ‘crown’ of small leaves, hence the name.
I took this photo with my lens pointing up. I actually kneeled and look up to get this photo.

Hi
Umm… actually, we don’t play the RR until this coming Saturday, so I will be happy to link to your blog at that time.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email and I will be happy to be of help.
