Fritillaria graeca is a European plant species in the lily family native to the Balkans(Albania, Macedonia, and Greece). [3] Some older literature says that the plant can also be found in Serbia, but all these collections are of var. gussichiae, now regarded as a distinct species called Fritillaria gussichiae.[4]
Fritillaria graeca has flowers with red and white stripes and looks much like small bells - one on each stem. It blooms between April and May. It reaches a height of around 25 cm.[5][6]
