Here is a frit I may have posted here before, and if so I've lost the label. Hope someone will recognise what it is for me. First close up of flower second the whole flowering stem and third the foliage

Nice Frit Chris!
It looks like Frit. affinis var. tristulis.

That was fast, must be some sort of record, just two minutes to get a result!  Wow!  Thanks so much Steve. This time I'll put a big label in so I know. It's improved enormously in size since last year and seems to have two tiers of flowers. I'm well pleased with it!

So, now here are two more. One of them has a label of F. elwesii but not sure which is which, and also whether they are both the same. They look different outdoors but they may just be variations.

Rimmer's messanensisis a lot paler than mine which came from Evolution seed sown 2012. Is this within the range of natural variation? I prefer his, rats!

I do enjoy Frits and, I do agree that F. meleagris is one of the best. Generally, they are quite unheard-of here in southern Africa at least, to the non-specialist gardener. For many years now I have tried to germinate seed and finally have one seedling (the only one!) of F. meleagris on the point of flowering - what anticipation!  :)

I didn't like them either, Rogan, until recently. I think it was seeing them en masse and in such profusion on the stand from the Edinburgh Botanic Garden at our shows, a chance to examine them at close range, that I saw their beauty. But I am partial to green and brown flowers so I guess it was inevitable...

Fritillaria meleagris
Fritillaria pallidiflora - I think it looks good against the Spiraea 'Goldflame'
