Hi Pat, 3 stunning photographs. Did you grow them from seed? I am only starting to realise how attractive Fritillarias are... I have F. meagris planted out in the garden which is just showing flowers.

These are beautiful. I think if I were to start any kind of bulb collection, it would be fritillaria.

They are wonderful photos. I tried to grow them from seed one year without success. Would any of those be hardy enough for the garden Pat?

Probally but too small and precious to risk.

Very nice and very precious as you rightly say. These are best suited to an alpine house?

Very beautiful indeed, Pat. The fritillarias do very well in my climate.
