Thank you Jan! Unfortunately I don't know the origin of my clone.

The death of David King (reported on the 'Noticeboard') is very sad news. I rememember a talk by him on N. American frits at the Frit Group some years ago; the photos were superb. He also had a very fine chapter in Bulbs of North America.

Very nice white Jan.
pictures this morning
These  faciated stenanthera and eduardii were  seedlings I bought from Parnham bungalow nursery 12 years ago, The seedling pot is from Jan's seed in 2010. sorry for the wrong name on one of the pictures - corrected now

[Jan]

Interestingly Rhinopetalum

[PeterT]

Is it double flowerd every year?

[Jan]

Yes, but does not seed 17 years. I have about 100 plants, but only the Flore Plena

Fritillaria armena in the garden.

Growing on three different spots in the garden. All of them were bulbils planted in 2006 after my three bulbs decided not to be happy in a pot. I initially thought I lost them, but found the bulbils instead. This is the result after planting them in the garden almost six years ago and leave them by themselves. Later I will take some pictures when they are flowering.

Cheers,

[Jan]

healthy green color and green hands

A few frits in flower today.

1 & 2. Fritillaria bucharica first time with this for me, I can see a few more being acquired this autumn

3. Fritillaria michailovskyii I've had this flowering since early January, finally it gave me a worthwhile shot  

4.5 & 6. Fritillaria raddeana Again a first timer, acquired because it's reputed to be better at reflowering than F. imperialis

Very nice Fritillaria Fred.
Are you new to growing them? You chose some good species to start with if you are. Glad to hear you are enjoying them.

healthy green color and green hands 

They should've been greener (my hands) and kept the armena happy in their pot . I am a bit of disaster with keeping bulbs and corms healthy in a pot so my garden is my true big friend for keeping nice things going....and if it doesn't survive my garden conditions I move on and drop the plant from my want list

Jan, if you mean the F. bucharica, it was sourced from Kevin Pratt, I don't know his source.

Very nice Fritillaria Fred.

I've had some Fritillaria for years Ron.
Last autumn I decided I didn't have enough
The way it's going, this autumn will be the same.

I grow most of them Fred, so let me know in summer if there is something you are looking for. I usually have a few bits and pieces spare.
