Personally now I'm convinced I grow only three kinds, brown ones, green ones and ones that aren't green or brown. Job done!
Don't forget the brown and green ones.
Here F. grandiflora ex PF-3520
Fritillaria alburyana usually has ligt pink flowers, but in one locality our team (LST-247) found very unusually colored "alburyana" - with purple flowers. It was discovered by some otherfritillaria growers, too and I even somewhere read that it is natural hybrid with F. armena, growing in vicinity. BUT its seedlings perfectly reproduce itself and now splitting were noted as it could be in case of hybrids. Grown side by side with traditional pink alburyana they both can freely hybridise, but nor in seedlings of typical alburyana nor in seedlings in this purple one I didn't note any intermediate - all stocks keeps their color. The purple one is something smaller than pink one, too. May be worth of own status?
