Fritillaria aurea BATM-371. A couple of other forms have flowered and gone over during the recent poor weather, so this one will be self-pollinated.

I hope everyone is taking note of the  toothed edges to the  floral segments  in  the Fritillaria koidzumiana shown in reply 16 by Cyril,  above?   Fascinating flowers!

Lovely frits, all :D

This is my poor Fritillaria aff. karelinii, JJA497.680. I'm growing this frit outdoors with other winter growing bulbs, in pots, regular watering and feeding with slow release fertiliser (N:P:K=5:10:15). What did I wrong with this frit? :(

Tatsuo, abortion of flower buds may be caused by various factors, e.g. too little or too much moisture at the wrong time, sudden change in temperature, disturbance whilst in growth, etc. or maybe the bulb is just not mature enough.  Your plant looks healthy and is growing well, building up reserves for flowering well next year hopefully.  I tend to keep the rhinopetalum frits fairly dry during dormancy and repot later than most bulbs.

Thank you, Cyril :) Your practical advice is very helpful. I restarted watering them mid September and last autumn was unusually warm (nearly hot). I'll restart watering this frit at the beginning of October next season.
