Beautiful plants Colin. You are obviously skilled with this tricky group. And as the others have said already, a warm welcome to the Forum. Hopefully your fritillaria interest will expand to include many other genera. :D

Nice plants, Colin.

Can you or any other Frit. expert shed light on the identity of the plant in the first two images below? It was bought last year as Fritillaria sp. Afghanistan.

Also, F. euboeica and F. ariana.

I should add re: the mystery species, it was billed as a new Rhinopetalum that doesn't fit with any of the known ones....you be the judge.

Thanks Gerry,

F. caucasica grows outside permanently and F. stenanthera and F. verticilliata are grown in a bulb frame.

Ahead of the Fritillaria Group spring Meeting at Wisley on Sunday, I thought I would show some of the frits in my bulb house.

First  an image of two Frits won in the auction - on the left olivieri and on the right reuteri

The second shows a Frit that was won in a raffle last year and purports to be Fritillaria crassifolia kurdica 'Wisley Form'  There is only one bulb, but curiously there are two plants of very different stature in the pot.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Three more images of Frit spec. nova

Can someone identify the last two.

Curtis's Botanical Magazine March 2011 issue includes an article by Martyn Rix and colleagues on F. usuriensis. 
For anyone interested in this topic they cite a summary of fritillaria use in Chinese traditional medicine.
