Fritillaria euboeica is endemic to mountains of Central and North Evoia.
It flowers from the end of February to April included, at heights between 700 and 1700 m. However, both these photos were taken at a height of about 100 m.
Experts believe that the total number of existing mature individuals is gradually diminishing and that fewer than 1500 individual plants have been left. This is why the species is included in the Red Data Book of Rare and Threatened Plants of Greece (Patra 2009) and is considered a “vulnerable” species.
