Hi Chris,
Yes that's right, I got the seed from Jim Almond about 6 years ago.  It was really quick and flowered in 5  years so that was good.  They actually don't take that long, and when they do finally get up and flower they really start to mulitply.  It has about 12 spikes this year, out of four bulbs.

I was wondering if anyone could name the unknown frit that I posted a few days ago?  If anyone can that would be fantastic. :)

I've had a quick search on the net and Fritillaria bithynica looked closest.

Not having seen Fritillaria bithynica in real life, it is a complete guess!

That could well be it, Rob ! There's a bit of brown in the flower that was hinting at F. assyriaca a bit ,but Lesley's plant looks very nice and short so bithynica is my guess.... this is where theBD pops up in NZ and says, stupid woman, how often must I tell you....... :-\

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've searched my photo files high and low and found a photo of it closer.  This might help?  I now have to try Crassifolia ssp Kurdica again!
