Scottish Wildflowers

[ThistleDown]

I love those watercolor prints. Do you think the fritillaria will grow in the sandy soil of the Oregon Coast, or perhaps in a raised bed? What kind of soil would I need to replicate its native growing conditions? I've never seen a checkered flower and would love to grow some!

I don't think so. My wife is superb at transplanting and in answer to your question passed on the little basic: transplanting a wild plant can only be reasonably assured of success if everything is the same in both locations. Your soil is going to be a problem as, I would think, will be the wind/salt combination.
