Persian fritillary

Fritillaria persica

FritPrplFl8495s.jpg

Each individual flower on the stem has its own stalk (peduncle), and the tip is still producing more buds while the base is in bloom. It's a raceme.
(Unrelated to the rest but always good to know: Some Fritillarias are edible but this one is not and could make one pretty sick.)
