Today F. fusca is in full bloom. Pity, only one plant, but it is first after 8 years long waiting!

Wonderful leaves, Janis.  Great combination with that coppery/bronze colour to the flower.

Is F.fusca close to F.delavayi, Janis?
This is the plant I bought as F.delavayi about 5 or 6 years ago from China. It looks like F.cirrhosa to me.

Yes, fusca is close to delavayi, although I saw only picture of last without flowers on mountain scree. Really I don't know the difference.
On picture can be cirrhosa. It is latest with me. All others are over when it blooms - outside only at end of June here

It is very common "fusca" (and many others) from Chen-yi. I named it unibracteata, although it looks surprisingly similar to design of F. regelii in Flora of Tadjikistan. So possibly it is regelii. I never had regelii from Tadjikistan, so can't to judge.

I agree with Janis, we had the same plant as F.unibracteata. Unfortunately it has failed to appear this year.

Your "true" fusca is superb Janis and well worth the wait. The colours of flower and foliage are so subtle and different.

When you write your NEXT book (after the one we're all waiting for) could you include a large section on Fritillaria please. So many are not mentioned at all in the Pratt and Jefferson-Brown book, which is very frustrating.

I agree with you that Pratt's an J-B book on frits is a little bit "strange" but we all wait now (for decades) when Rix's monograph will come out. My current book is now at Timber Press and I'm working now preparing pictures for it. I'm writing only in winters and the next one is in my mind but I'm afraid that for that one two winters would be needed. Of course, if my health problems will stop or decrease nursery activities, I will replace growing by writing. But I hope that still some years of growing is ahead.

You must have been over joyed to see this frit growing out of a crevice - the rock backdrop sets it off in a way I have never seen before in the wild and the colour is beautiful - what height did you find it growing at John and where was it?
