Fritillaria 2013
« on: January 28, 2013, 06:34:23 PM »
As the picture of an unknown Frit taken in my bulb house and posted on a snowdrop site has caused interest, I am starting a new thread.

If anyone can identify it I would be most grateful.

From the club-type style ( visible in the pic on the galanthus thread) it looks to be a carica or pinardii .....

adding John Finch's pic....

The leaves don't appear particularly glaucous which might suggest it is not F. pinardii but really the plant & the flower are not sufficiently developed for any attempt at identification to be made with confidence. We need to see the inside of the flower - the nectaries. Do you know anything about the provenance Arthur?

Took you as long to get some sunshine as it has us, Art! We had some sun today and on Friday (not sure what happened yesterday, having been down in Dunblane all day) It's bringing out the narcissus and crocus, but it'll be a while till we've got frits in flower.

Yours is looking like F.  pinardii to me. Very much a clubbed style.

I'm thinking it might be another assyriaca - nice but not special.
