The talk covers many of the Fritillaria known in cultivation in this photographic journey from A to Z.
Fritillarias have a worldwide distribution and whilst many have special requirements, there are quite
a few which can be grown outside in the UK
"Growing and propagating choice bulbs"
This talk will take a general look at a wide range of bulbs with tips on cultivation and propagation.
A wide range of genera will be covered including a mix of those suitable for the open garden and others suitable for growing in pots. Hopefully, something for everyone!
