    Hi.

    A neighbour asked me if I knew what this seed head was. I thought it might be a Fritillaria. But I’m not sure. Any help appreciated. Thanks. B886F3A8-C006-4A35-8CFD-7D4070D9E692.jpeg

      A couple of questions how big is it, a ruler or coin for scale would be useful and when the seed head ripen?

        Looks fine for Fritillaria.
        Pics show Fritillaria meleagris.
