Fritillaria persica and F. imperialis should be available from most garden centres, at least in northern Europe.
If you requuire mail order try www.jacquesamand.com and look in his European Store list. I have just checked and he has both listed.

Mike, you may also like to take a look at Janis Ruksans catalogue. I have Emailed a copy to your private Email address.

Mike, you could also try Leonid Bondarenko or Beringmeier in Germany.
Look for their website in the link collection of the SRGC.

Mike the places they have recomended are from enthusiasts so the bulbs are different than the one You could have got if You would have got Continente on Maderira (F. imperialis). These guys also have things that You nevere ever will find in Continente. For all non Portuguese Continente is a "hypermarket" like Tesco I would say.
They really have nice things in these web shops. 

Good luck
Joakim

Many thanks for the information! Geeez there are so many different species of fritillaria! And some are expensive.
Thomas, i cannot read one of those sites, because i dont understand Deutsch...
Joakim, by the price i presume the quality is much more superior, and  i will give them a try next year, but this year i will just try and do some tests to see if it works!

A question like that really makes me want to swear and spit, when I think of all the years we must live through in the long, painful and frequently unsuccessful process of growing such things from seed. You just trot along to the garden centre or write a list from a catalogue. It ain't fair.

Mmm, I felt like that too when I first arrived in Oz - even more so when you consider all the other things that I could just pop into any of the DIY places for. But think of all the weird & wonderful natives that they lust after Lesley.

Mike, send an e-mail in English to Beringmeier and ask for the plants you want!
Mr. Pohlmann will reply soon!
