You Are A Snake’s Head!
Fritillaria meleagris
The unique snake’s head is an action oriented, optimistic and fearless creature. Carmine red with an incredible checker board pattern, you go your own way and follow your convictions. This solitary flower needs alone-time and is at its happiest on sweeping meadows. At the same time, you are generous, confident and faithful to your friends. Your name comes from Kungsängen, an area outside of Uppsala, where Linnaeus found you in 1740. The snake’s heads still bloom there in abundance every year in springtime.
