Fritillaria graeca

804_1291 [Fritillaria graeca]
 
Fritillaria graeca is a small perennial plant native to the Balkan Peninsula,
specifically in Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Greece.
 
It typically grows in rocky or grassy habitats at elevations between 350 and 2200 meters
and can reach a height of up to 25 centimeters.
 
It blooms in spring and produces attractive bell-shaped flowers;
a fact that sometimes leads to its cultivation in gardens for its ornamental qualities.
 
Not very common but not endangered either.
