The description is the same as for the Red Crown Imperial, so here is a fine story about the proud Fritillaria, from the book Toveren met Bollen by Jacqueline van der Kloet:
When Jesus was on his way to Golgotha to be crucified, all the flowers bowed their heads respectfully, except the Crown Imperial. She was punished by God and must, to this very day, go through life with downward-facing flowers. In every flower you will find large drops of nectar: the tears of regret that Fritillaria imperialis still sheds because of her pride and poor behaviour.

Planting flower bulbs
When should I plant my flower bulbs? If you want beautiful flowers such as tulips and daffodils in your garden in the spring, you will need to plant flower bulbs in the fall. This can be done as soon as the leaves fall from the trees. Make sure that the spring bloomers are in the ground before the frost sets in.
Summer bloomers such as dahlias and lilies should be planted in the spring so that they bloom in the summer.
Planting flower bulbs is not complicated at all. The same principles apply in principle:
- do not plant the bulb too deep in the ground (usually between 8 and 18 centimeters)
- provide good natural conditions
- be frugal with fertilizer and let the bulb do its work
