Fritillaria brandegeei
Greenhorn fritillary is a rare bulb-forming perennial from the Greenhorn Mountains of California, found only in a small area of the southern Sierra Nevada. It grows in open yellow pine forest and is grown mainly by specialist bulb enthusiasts, so cultivation is best approached like other California fritillaries: cool, well-drained soil and a summer dry rest.
Fritillaria brandegeei, the Greenhorn fritillary, is a plant species endemic to California, USA.
It is known from only the Greenhorn Mountains, a subrange of the southern Sierra Nevada, within Kern and Tulare counties. It grows in open areas of yellow pine forest habitats, at elevations of 1,500–2,100 metres (4,900–6,900 ft).
