Arthur

you must be home? I hope you are pleased with it. A second bulb with a single flower will open in the next couple of days and so I will try for seed

I will try to post some further shots - think I might have one with 4 flowers.  Have not had luck with seed so far, although I sowed some last year.

Tony & Arthur - a handsome plant, it would be interesting to know its provenance.

It was a conservation effort from Iran where a new road was to be built.

It's similar to F. poluninii to my eye - very desirable, whatever it is.

Hi I am Colin and this is my first post. I live in Staines Middx UK and my main interest is Fritillaria and I though you might like to see some of my Rhinopetalums that are in flower.

Colin

F. ariana
F. gibbosa (1)
F. gibbosa (2)
F. gibbosa (3)
F. karelinii x gibbosa
F. rhinopetalum undecided
F. sp. PULKHAKIM

Welcome Colin, and thanks for a great post.  The first of many we hope. 

Beautiful crystalline quality to the petals.
Are the hybrids your own, and if so do you see much variation? 
And can you tell us any more about the last two?

Yes the rhinopetalum undecided was pollen from a white gibbosa of Kath Dryden’s onto one of my plants which like an idiot I did not keep a record of which one I used. As to variation that is the first flower of only two that germinated.
The karelinii x gibbosa is actually a sibling cross of my own. The parents came to me as seed labelled as karelinii which when they flowered I was not sure about and when Martin Rix was asked about them he said he thought they were a hybrid with gibbosa. As to variation with these there seems to be very little.
The Pulkhakim is the plant that Janis Ruksans brought into cultivation. Mine I think is a seed raised plant as the stem is not as papillose as other plants I have seen.
