FRITILLARIA 2011
« on: February 10, 2011, 06:00:52 PM »
I would appreciate help in identifying these two Iranian Fritillarias currently in bloom in the bulb house.

The last shot is a general view of part of the Frit section of the bulb house - wonderful what a few days of sunshine will do.

They are Fritillaria pinardii and I really do not know why they have done this - I certainly did not plant them around the edge.

Angie

thank you for your comment - I only wish the garden was as tidy.  Have made a special effort with the bulb house and the plants have benfitted.

Will post shots of all that flower.  the area you can see represents about a third of my collection.

Do they have any heating, mine are so far behind yours. I only have a little in pots. I have started growing in pots as I was fed up of them going missing from the garden. Wasn't sure if it was mice or squirrels but was always left with a nice neat hole. I have got the mice under control now ( stopped using bird food that had a lot of waste )
You have a good collection, looking forward to your posts.

There is no heating.  The bulb house is at the bottom of my garden, a long way to take electricity.

Everything seems to survive even though I live in a frost pocket.  The pots are not plunged - they stand on a base of sand (approx 12 inches deep) to provide somewhere for the roots to grow into.

Thanks for the information. I suppose you are a long way from us and much warmer . I have mine in a cold frame. I think tomorrow I will move them to the polytunnel, they probally would get more light there and a bit more warmth.
Enjoy your day tomorrow I just noticed that you are going to get a lovely 13c and we are only getting 5c  :'( your bulbs will enjoy the warmth.

As long as we do not have the rain that usually accompanies the warmer weather at this time of year.  Need to weed and it is no fun in the rain.

Alex,

All 3 are brilliant, but I just LOVE the colouration of the ariana.  Never seen a frit like that before. :o

Thanks for posting.

A couple more Frits flowering today.

The first two shots show Frits from the same location - unknown frit.

The third shot is also an unknown frit.

Last shot is of Fritillaria uva vulpis 'Kew Form'

Would appreciate any suggestions
