Janis really wonderful pictures,mine have nearly all finished flowering.

All my bulbs blooms much later than with you. Sometimes I even don't know -  is it worth to put some on forum? - are someone still interested in those? I noted that by crocus entries - as later flowers come here as less forumists are watching them on my entries and no comments come to my questions.

Fritillaria drenovskii from Greece not a terribly exciting flower

I always liked F. drenovskii. Unfortunately, I lost my plants some years ago.
Me too.  I was first given it many years ago by Harold Esslemont and so it had particular significance for me.  That form had a little more definiton in its colour and slightly more flared ends to the flowers. Alas, the two cold winters of 2009-10 and 2010-11 saw its passing.

Yes - my plants (from Norman Stevens) were  quite a strong yellow at the tepal tips - a nice contrast -  & the flowers were  flared at the mouth.

Janis I do not always expect comments when I post and do not often make them when looking at others postings but I am sure most people enjoy the variety of plants they get to see and I would ask that you continue to show as many as possible.

Janis, How could you NOT show those gorgeous frits? A superb group of F. alburyana, and of F sepenticola which I didn't realize had multi-flowered stems like yours. Is this the usual for established plants? I so far have had only single flowers per stem.

It is the first time with me, too but all stock is such. Other stocks has only one flower on stem.
