Help in identifying a flower.

The yellow drooping flower.


It is grown in the USA by a person who ordered bulbs (I have no idea why she doesn't know the name when she ordered it). It is supposed to keep away moles.

That is a fritillaria. Probably Fritillaria imperialis lutea.

Wow- thanks for answering so quickly.

You're welcome, usually I come in late!

Wow, that's pretty! I've never seen or heard of those before.

I had those in my garden for the first time this year. I basically came to the conclusion that they were not pretty enough to justify the foliage they leave behind which (in my opinion), is not so pretty.
