Which Fritillaria?
« on: June 22, 2009, 09:39:10 PM »
I received this one from Ruksans last autum, named F. tubiformis.. Now, in my opinion, it must be something else. The flowers are rather tiny and narrow, on a 28 cm long stalk. Any idea which Frit it might be?

I like it too, but when I order something I expect to get what I order and pay for.

A quick guess would be F. elwesii, or perhaps F. latakiensis but more likely the former.

I agree with Lesley & Otto - F. elwesii. The green stripe is more-or-less diagnostic.
