Discover the unique Fritillaria camschatcensis, also known as Kamchatka fritillary or Kamchatka lily. Native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America, this species has a striking brown color earning it the nickname "chocolate lily". While its unpleasant smell has earned it other names such as skunk lily, dirty diaper, and outhouse lily, Fritillaria camschatcensis is prized for its starchy bulbs, which are often eaten by wild animals and indigenous peoples. Hardy to zone 4, this plant prefers moist soil and can thrive in semi-shade or no shade. Admire its dark, bell-shaped flowers from May to July in damp areas along the mountain meadows and coastlines.
