Still seems a shame though given that most of the ones that are sold end up dieing. Buying is only going to encourage people to keep digging.

Maggi - there seem to be two threads running as "Fritillaria 2009". A bit confusing as to where to post.

Michael, nice Fritillaries.
 Your first one is  not "from Tunisia" , but is in fact Frit. tuntasia, (which is Greek)..... I suspect a misreading of the label on the packet of seed!

Thanks Maggi, I have corrected it. That's why I always put a question mark after seed raised plants as I am never sure that the name is correct, and I am always too busy to check it out. Too many plants to manage and so little time.

Given some of the plant names around, it's pretty hard NOT to get muddled at times, I reckon!

Michael -

F. whittallii looks like F. acmopetala

((F. crassifolia subsp. kurdica looks like F. bithynica editby M; Seconfd pic of F. bithynica  (tweo pix menioned my Micahel) is only labelled as kurdica in  error))

F.  [hermonis amana] 'Goksum Gold' doesn't look right- it should be a good yellow.

Michael -
This is genuine F. hermonis subsp. amana ‘Goksum Gold’ (= HS 2333). Although yours looks OK as regards shape  it seems too green.
This is a scan from a print of a photo  by Sheila Brown.

Sir do you gather your seeds from internet or just from places you visit?

Arda - is your question  addressed to me or to Michael?
I have grown fritillaries from seed obtained from the various seed exchanges in the UK such as the AGS & The Fritillaria Group. This seed is often incorrectly named. I have also had seed from the commercial suppliers JJA Seeds who are very good & whose seed is usually true to name. I have never collected seed in the wild because  I have never been in the right place at the right time.

Oron - yes it is. Unfortunately not grown by me!

Wonderful to see F. hermonis in the wild. Thanks for posting.
