Fritillaria pinetorum
Also called Davidson's fritillary, Pine Fritillary
Pinewoods fritillary (Fritillaria pinetorum) is a small bulbous wildflower from shady California mountain forests, with a single nodding-type purple, yellow-mottled flower. It is a bulb that needs cool, moist conditions and a winter chill, and it is best grown from bulbs in a woodland setting.
Fritillaria pinetorum, the pinewoods fritillary or Davidson's fritillary, is an uncommon species of fritillary.
It is endemic to California, USA, where it is found in shady mountain forests in the Sierra Nevada (from Sierra County to Kern County) and the San Gabriel Ranges from Santa Barbara County to San Bernardino County. There are also isolated populations in eastern Inyo County and in Modoc County.
