Further to an earlier post about Fritillaria JJA17255 - see here   
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=9360.msg374189#msg374189  where it was ID'd as F. crassifolia  - comments on this  collection from Laurence Hill ( Fritillaria Icones) on the Frit. Group  page of  Facebook:
"Fritillaria JJA17255 is an interesting collection. First it was without a name, now identified as Fritillaria kurdica but very variable."   Laurence also mentions that there are "links to other photos in the Jim Archibald Archive at Scottish Rock Garden Club."



From Robert Wallis :
"Yes this is a fascinating one. Here is a picture of it in the wild. It is about 30cm tall with up to 3 flowers per stem. About 10 % of the population has yellow flowers. Morphologically, F. kurdica is the closest species but it may merit another name once we know more about it."

 Fritillaria gibbosa........ this is from JJA seed.






Another JJA seed plant is this Fritillaria straussii which always starts flowering at gravel level but it does eventually come up. It is also supposed to get some dark tessellation but never does so.

702.305 : Narcissus minor
Pictures : 10 Feb. 2017

JJA 702.305 : Narcissus minor
Spain, Leon, La Pola de Gordón. 1300m.
(A wild collection from NW Spain of this obscure dwarf, yellow trumpet-daffodil. While it is of debatable botanical delineation, it is always, in the opinion of John Blanchard, “a highly desirable garden plant” which does well outside in the UK. Usually a little more robust and later-flowering than N. asturiensis, though the early-flowering clone ‘Cedric Morris’ is thought to be a variant of this species.)

Sowing: Feb. 2008
Germinating: not recorded
First blooming: Feb. 2014
Pictures were taken 26 Jan. 2015

702.720 : NARCISUS PAPYRACEUS* No data but froma vigorous, free-flowering clone, almost certainly originating inMorocco.
(Clusters of richly scented, white flowers in late winter. Needs a hot, dry summer rest to flower well.)

875.605 : SCILLA MORRISII * Cyprus, Paphos district. 700m. Moist, shaded crevices & banks, under Quercus. Ex D. Meikle 4015. (A very local Cyprus endemic, being successfully maintained in cultivation. About 10 cm. high, erect racemes of 3-5, campanulate flowers in milky-white tinged with lilac & with pale-blue anthers. Attractive & no great problem to grow.)

503.208 : FRITILLARIA STENANTHERA from SELECTED PINK FORMS * Uzbekistan, Tashkent, W of Chimgan. 1900m. (From rich salmon-pink selections out of our own, Arnis Seisums & Janis Ruksans collections in this area.)

694.100 : NARCISSUS ATLANTICUS

Pictures: 23 Mar. 2018

694.100 : NARCISSUS ATLANTICUS * Morocco, High Atlas, above Amizmiz. 2000m. Among scrub, in soft, moist loam. Ex the 1936, E.K. Balls type coll. (A very local plant in the wild &, after almost 70 years, still rare in cultivation, where it is by no means easy to grow. Sweetly scented, creamy white jonquils carried singly on 15cm. stems. Distinct from the N. rupicola group in its deeper, cup-shaped corona & in the arrangement of the anthers.)
