Fritillaria 2009

Those F. affinis forms are interesting Maggi. 
Mine seems to be the 'usual' form, although it came as 'Sunray' which presumably should look more like the yellow one you show

Maggi,

The first of your last two you posted is very similar to what I have/had.  Nowhere near as dark as the others you posted, and nothing like the more squared varieties.  I rather like yours too, Ashley.

While some Fritillaria pyrenaica are over some new tones appear + some F. lusitanica

Super colour variations Gerd, are these seed grown by yourself?

[Gerdk]

Thank you Chris!
Only the Fritillaria pyrenaicas are from seeds (AGS) - some ex yellow form.

Super frits, Gerd.... especially the first yellow pyrenaica..... lovely form!

[Gerdk]

Thank you Maggi -
and the best is  - all are so easy outside!

F. pyrenaica in different shades

Gerd, I love the colour and markings on these Frits especially - they look like silk

I am pretty sure that it is a tristulis...... they do not open their flowers  as wide as an ordinary affinis, they hold them closer and the almost "toothed" edges, giving a look of a crocodile mouth is distinctive.... I'll see if I can track down some pix for you....
 Here we go, most of the flowers in these pix are fully open, but you can see, at the top of the last pic, some of the more closed buds, looking very reptilian, like Tony's flowers.....

I am quite sure you are right maggie,
Maximowiczii is much leaner in all repects although I have never seen any tendrils. The general bulild is similar, however, One whorl of leaves distinct bracts and conical flower when not fully open.
Göte.

Here is a bulb that has appeared in my garden in a dry spot under an ornamental cherry. i think it must have been thrown out with some old potting compost and is not one I have ever flowered.I think it is a frit but would be glad of any ideas.

Looks like a F. affinis tristulis to me, Tony.

Audrey II from "Little Shop of Horrors"?
 
cheers

[Maggi Young]

Fermi, thanks for that comparison.... I was thinking the plant from " Little Shop of Horrors", but I didn't know the name!!

[Mike Ireland]

Thought this frit might be F. pyrenaica but not too sure. 

[Lesley Cox]

Does pyrenaica usually have those very square shoulders? I don't remember mine as having them.

One of my 'paler' F.pyrenaica out in the garden today.

Gerd , your 2 first yellow F. pyrenaica are very nice - F. pyrenaica is also happily growing here in the open in my garden .
 
     Mike , I'm pretty certain your Frit . is pyrenaica .
