butchart gardens isn't limited to native plants, nor does it label them (i shall have to ask next time; they do have a plant identification service). the fact that there are white look-alikes growing right amongst them makes me think this is (fritillaria meleagris). still cool, even if not native -- fritillarias rock.

no walk today; the paramour's plane back from AZ was late and so the connecting flight left paramourless, and then it was unsure when a later flight would have a seat. oh well, i was feeling tired from yesterday's outing anyway. and doing some chores around the house was good for the house.

That is one seriously gorgeous photo. I must leave time to visit Butchart Gardens one of these times. Hell, it's been years since I visited the Bloedel Conservatory. Must fix.

i had never gone in the spring -- in the summer it's rather crowded, even on weekdays. but this time i could even get a few panoramic shots without having people in them.

J'adore fritillaries. Yep, looks like meleagris
