Chocolate lilies (Fritillaria biflora)are exotic-looking plants that are very sparsely distributed in southern California grasslands and meadows. Externally the flowers are shiny brown, reddish, or purplish brown; inside there is an intricate pattern that often can only be seen if one lies underneath the flower stalks. These were photographed at the Santa Rosa Plateau reserve near Temecula. |
