Hi Luc ... if you had little else to do, an inquisitive nature and asbestos ears, then you could always try entering the name in You Tube ... ?   :) :) :)

Kind regards from Ga-Ga land.

Fritillaria imperialis in a standard orange is found in every old garden in the villages here. Patches of it can have 20 or 30+ flowerspikes and make quite an impact for a few weeks in spring. They never seem to be tended or fed and are basically gardened around. So maybe it is the summer 'baking' that has  the greater impact on flowering potential.  :-\
Personally I would far rather have Lily Allen in the garden eating my Frits and Lilies, than the the little red devils I normally find out there  ;)

Summer baking is definitely not what they're getting out here when they stay in the ground in a Belgian Summer Simon ::)

Cliff - I might try youtube... just out of curiosity.

Wolfgang, there is a mistake : the picture of F. kotschyana is not right

Some people (including me) would place Wolfgang's plant in F. grandiflora.Others would suggest that grandiflora is a subspecies of F. kotschyana. It seems, at present, that this is a matter of choice.

hallo Gerry and biodiversite,

I have my "F. kotschyana?" about 10 years ago by the nursery Wetzel purchased.

This beautifull frit with huge flowers I got from my Ukrainian friend Dmitriy who baught it from some Russian gardener under name Fritillaria grandiflora. It seem to be superb form of F. kotschyana grandiflora from Talish mnt (S Aserbaijan).

Janis that is a very fine robust form.

No lily beetles here yet. They appeared for the first time two years ago.

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.
