Yellow Bells / Fritillaria pudica

Yellow Bells / Fritillaria pudica
Happened to come across this photo in my archives and decided to post it. I think I only have three photos of this species in my photostream, and I'm not likely to see these flowers again. This zoomed in and cropped photo of a tiny, native Yellow Bell wildflower (Fritillaria pudica) was taken in extreme wind conditions, LOL, so it's a miracle that it came out sharp. Also known as Yellow Fritillary. A few of us were very fortunate on 21 May 2010 to have Anna Cairns guide us up and down rolling hills covered in natural prairie grassland, to look for these delicate little flowers. Sure enough, after quite a lot of searching and a long hike, we found several hiding amongst the grasses. This area was west of Nanton (south west of Calgary) and this location is the furthest north recording of this species. A first time for all of us. We found several other new plants, too, which is always great.
