The Checker Lily (Fritillaria affinis), a fairly adaptable Fritillaria species, grows on grasslands and along woodlands up and down the West Coast.

They are early spring bloomers that produce one or more nodding blooms from a single stem.

Sometimes they are called Mission Bells or Chocolate Lily, however those names are also applied to additional Fritillaria species.
