Frits waking up here too. Just a taster from the alpine house today....

Fritillaria aurea (one of my favourites)
Fritillaria davisii - this one grows like a weed for me, but I don't find it easy to flower. This year just 3 flowers in a 20cm pan full of bulbs. Any ideas for getting this to flower more profusely?

Diane, you have goksuM rather than GoksuN  in your file names. GoksuN is correct I believe

I have not yet persuaded Jean Wyllie of the ease of posting pix to this Forum, so in the meantime, I will post them for her!
This is a super little frit, raised by Jean from SRGC seed sown 1992. Jean comments that 1992 seems a long time ago... can't argue with her there, at least!
this is Fritillaria crassifolia hakkariensis only about three inches high, and not extending much further in fruit.



Thanks, Jean....but this IS really easy, you know!

What a great little plant that Fritillaria crassifolia hakkariense is...and only 15 years to get it there! I especially like the beautiful presentation of the flowers. Do they stay up-facing or droop as they age?

F. crassifolia is a very variable species with a growing number of sub species being described.
Fritillaria crassifolia ssp hakkariensis, note the correct spelling Maggi has edited her post now,  is a subspecies described by Martin Rix, I forget the actual taxanomic reasons but will endevour to find my notes. The flowers do turn down a bit  to face sideways before turning upwards again once they have been fertilised.

Jean it is high time you learnt how to make you own posts, stop lurking, come out and join us-  its fun and not difficult. :-* :-* :-*

I wonder if I am the only one not able to see the picture Maggi posted of Fit crassifolia hakkariensis-on my computer all I get is a little red cross? Normally when this happens all I need to do is right click the red cross and then click "Show Picture" but that doesn't work this time. Oddly I am also not able to see two pictures Maggi posted in the "Last Snowdrop of the Season" thread and the same circumstances as above apply. I don't seem to have this problem with any other Forum pictures????? ???

Hans, thank you for this information about Goksun.

David, I am getting the red cross too, on the frit: I left click it and the picture expands to full size. perhaps a refresh of your page may help.
I find this happens occasionally with all sorts of posts, whether in the text or added at the end. I think it must just be a minor hitch that happens randomly.
David, if you mean this post
