Fritillaria 2016

[Chris Johnson]

Fritillaria pallidiflora

These are two Frits that came up first time this year. Both are grown from seed and neither of them still have labels. Any idea what they might be?

Chris, I'd suggest amana and michailovskyi.
In any case they look very happy in your garden

In the greenhouse today Fritillaria bythinica.

I obtained the bulbs, in the pot with several flowers, at the 2014 Discussion Weekend.

Thanks Ashley, I'll put labels on them. Both grown from seed by a friend and given to me to grow on in the garden.

I have bought Fritillaria acmopetala ssp. wendelboi two years ago, due to a slug attack it didn't flower last year. This year it did, and it turned out to be F. uva-vulpis. How dissappointing. Now Fritillaria elwesii is flowering. I'd say its acmopetala. Is that true?

[Vincent]

Also I wanted to share some of the Fritillarias I saw last week in south france. F. montana (syn. orientalis, tenella, caussolensis)

and Fritillaria involucrata.

First flowering of Fritillaria alburiana grown outside from seed. It took it 6 years to flower. And a few promising shoots for the future

I have added some photos here from a population of Fritillaria lusitanica that I found in Spain last month.

Fritillaria pontica from SRGC  2008 seed

[Maggi Young]

Looks like F. messanensis to me, Rimmer.  Nice pale  F. pontica, too.
