This photo shows a flower bed of mixed spring bulbs including fritillarias (the very tall orange flowers that look like they're growing upside down - with leaves above the flowers) and tulips. I had seen fritillarias advertised before, but have never been impressed with them. The accompanying photos always showed one plant by itself, which isn't very impressive. However, as part of a mixed bed of bulbs, they serve as tall exclamation points, Keukenhof Gardens.
