Aigul or Moonflower (Fritillaria eduardii)

Owner Comments:

Fritillaria is a genus of flowering plants having about 135 species found throughout the northern hemisphere. Most species have colorful bell-shaped flowers which point toward the ground. Several species are cultivated as ornamentals. Common names usually end in “fritillary” like Persian fritillary and snake’s head fritillary. Fritillaria eduardii, depicted on this coin, is native to central Asia and has striking reddish orange flowers. The plant was named after the botanist Eduard August von Regel. Common names are aigul (moonflower) and ryabchik Eduardo (Eduardo's fitillary).
