Question
Good Morning! I live in the Mohawk Valley in the state of New York. I found this cute little flower growing all by itself next to my pond this Spring. Can you identify for me? Thanks very much, Brenda
Answer
Dear Peaches, you've photographed a species of Fritillaria (missionbells or checkered-lily). This is a member of the Liliaceae (lily family). These are species predominantly of western North America. I can't tell you which species this is because they are outside of my region of expertise. I hope this is helpful.
