Charles Rennie Mackintosh

One of my favourite flowers, Snake's Head Fritillary, is out in the garden at the moment. I love their painterly chequer board petals. I have always liked the water colour painting, of the flower, by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, it's beautiful. Last year we were plagued by the scarlet lily beetle, it decimated them. I think the winter snow, we had, may have killed off the lily beetle, as they are originally from warmer climes.
