Fritillaria meleagris has bashful bells in what looks to be an old-fashioned printed maroon chequered pattern
It is the county flower of Oxfordshire, where it was once abundant. Now, with the loss of hay meadows it is only found in quantity in a few places, such as Iffley and Ducklington.

Lovely. And we have three frit meadows here in Suffolk looked after by Suffolk Wildlife Trust. Thank you for the new word, I love new words.
Oh, that’s great to know that some meadows are managed and will continue to bloom for as long as possible.
