Fritillaria obliqua is a rare wild flower endemic to Attica and Evoia
where it grows in very small populations.
 
Unfortunately, for various reasons it is threatened with extinction.
This is the reason why it is included
in the “Red Book of the Rare and Threatened Plants of Greece”
and is protected by Law.
 
It blooms from early February to early April
at altitudes from sea level to 1000 m.
mostly on rocky grounds with sparse bushy vegetation.
