"Fritillaria" is new for mastodon. "Fritillary" is my favorite word. A fritillary is a flower in the lily family (genus "Fritillaria"-- aha!), and also a type of butterfly. These words have a magical, whimsical sound-- the Great Spangled Fritillary (butterfly) must surely be the name of a fairy monarch. "Fritillus" (which sounds awkwardly like something fritillaries might do for <ahem> intimate pleasure) is Latin for "chessboard", and refers to the checkered pattern.
