Fritillaria 2014

[Cyril L]

Hi Arthur I got this as F. chlororhabdota but have been told it is F. assytiaca sp. iranica, but like you I would like it to be  F. chlororhabdota. Would any one like to put their neck on the line?

Colin

This is my F. chlororhabdota, from the Wallises in 2004.  Coiln, yours look vaguely similar.

Thanks Cyril I never did change the label and now I will be more comfortable to put seed into exchanges.
Plus a few more bits in flower:-
F. caucasica
A sibling cross of (F. karelinii x gibbosa)
F. euboeica
F. serpenticola (I think it is now recognized as a species and not a sub species)
F. latifolia inside of flower (nobilis)
I do like the markings inside latifolia.

Fritillaria sp nova from Arthur

Amazing fritillaria!!!
And what is this species? I first see this form. From where is she?

[fixpix]

Wow, to me there's only been that Fritillaria imperialis, usually the orange, some F. persica (growing now from seeds, second season)  and a couple F . uva-vulpis that everyone around here has.
But I'm learning there's more to it.
I am more attracted to the vivid colored, wide-opened blooms, like that F. gibbosa or F. karelinii...
Will be surely making a list and see what seeds are available in the summer (fall).

F. pluriflora - I've had it for about 20 or so years, never divided, I got seed off it one year but all the seedlings died over the years. Maybe this year I'll be lucky.

Can someone tell me if the white form of F. persica, 'Ivory Bells', would normally flower at a different time to the usual purple form(s)?.
I have had several largish pots of the white form for a while (one label says October 2011) and the non flowering shoots (now ~30-40 cms high) have been in growth for 2 months or so, originally in a frame but the storms wrecked it a month or so back, so mostly in the open on the north side but close to the house. Last week another 5 shoots appeared in one of the pots, maybe to flower, probably not. Last autumn I acquired 4 bulbs of the purple form, and in pots they only broke the surface a week or two back.
Is it my currently irregular growing regime or do some forms differ in emerging and flowering times? I should be finally planting them in the open garden soon.
