702.259 Narcissus miniatus Turkey, Içel, E of Akdere. 185m. Open areas among Quercus coccifera scrub on limestone. R. & R. Wallis 08-122.
(N. serotinus, flowering between September & December, has recently been cinsidered to encompass two species. As a whole, it is distributed around all of the Mediterranean coastal areas, except of Most of Egypt & Turkey, whence there are very few collections. Bob & Rannveig Wallis tell us the forms here were particularly fine. Sweet-scented white, flowers with little, orange-yellow coronas on 20cm. stems recall a N. miniature poeticus. For the alpine-house or bulb-frame, where it needs a thorough drying-out in a warm temperature in summer.)

Sowing: Oct 2009
Germinating: Oct 2009
First flowering: Oct 2014
Pictures taking: 14 Oct 2017

From Tim Ingram, a photo of Fritillaria stenanthera  from Archibald seed, grown by George Elder  - this plant has won an AGS Farrer Medal


 Now from George Elder himself on Facebook :
"The JJA 503.209 seed from which these plants were grown came from northern Afghanistan. Plants increase well. The photo below shows the yield form about a dozen bulbs after two years' growth."

David Nicholson has been visiting his friend Mike Quest  - these  are  from his greenhouse ( other Cyclamen from Mike  in the Cyclamen thread)
"From Mike Quest's greenhouse today, Cyclamen africanum, a Jim Archibald collection that Mike obtained from Jo Hynes a couple of years ago.  The label reads as follows "C. africanum, Archibald 0358000. Ex Algeria, Labylie. E. of Azazga, 850m. Oak scrub. 1/08 ". Ex Algeria, Labylie. E. of Azazga, 850m. Oak scrub. 1/08 "

Again from Laurence Hill and Fritillaria Icones -
Fritillaria straussii JCA 0.503.350


www.fritillariaicones.com/icones/ic600/Fritillaria_Icones608.pdf

Laurence comments :
Fritillaria straussii is not for the open garden. Although it is hardy this species need protecting from summer rains.


A further comment from Robert Wallis:  F. straussii is one of the plants we aim to see in the forthcoming AGS Expeditions Tour to Iran. In fact the very spot where the seed of this introduction came from is on the list of places we will visit. We call it 8-Frit mountain!

From Tim Ingram:
Apropos growing Fritillarias in the garden. This is F. elwesii - originally a potful given to me by Jim Archibald - growing in a slightly raised bed beneath an old cherry tree, enriched with spent gritty compost from the nursery. The soil is rich - it supports nettles rather too well! - but has also been topdressed with leafmould and compost so is open-textured and well drained.


Fritillaria elwesii in the garden at Copton Ash, Faversham, Kent.
