I have just purchased a plant locally calls "Scarlet Bells", which is described as "native to California." To my eyes, the plant is identical to Fritillaria meleagris (Snakeshead fritillary). Is anyone familiar with this a plant that is "native to California" that is commonly known as "Scarlet Bells" or that is similar to the fritillary?
I suspect that this is a case of mistaken (or purloined) identity. The plant is wholesaled in California at Nurserymen's Exchange and I purchased it at the local non-nursery called "Trader Joe's"
Thanks
