Snakes head fritillaries

Dont know your area, but a quick google found Croome landscape park as a site for these.
 
Sorry can't help with locations but are there any left now? The ones in my garden in London finished flowering about a couple of weeks ago.

There will be if you head north.. if you absolutely must have to get a shot of species X in flower and you're in London and just missed it, then providing its range covers the whole country you may have up to four weeks to follow it up the country. For example, my neighbour in Norfolk has a glorious Magnolia stellata that's just gone over about a week ago, whilst the same species in a family garden near Perth is just coming into its full glory.

But bear in mind that if comparing to photos taken last year, this Spring is up to four weeks ahead of last - but mostly because last Spring was running about four weeks behind normal for the season.
 
I have some just starting to flower in some woodland at the edge of my property

I am located in Scotland by the way
 
Gulp, I thought they were “Butterflies”.
Then again I thought “Assertions and Aspersions ” were flowers.
