Also you may want to check out this Crown Imperials. They are gorgeous but have SKUNKY smell. :-)

Fritillaria imperialis is known as the Crown Imperial after the pineapple-like crown of leaves at the top of each stem. These large bulbs are a delight in practically any setting, and their unusual profile draws the eye like a magnet. Give them full sun and a rich, well-drained soil that stays dry in summer. The bulbs have a faint skunky odor, which has the salutary effect of repelling pests, including voles.
