Title: Unknown fritillaria
Post by: Claire Cockcroft on April 24, 2018, 12:03:46 AM

A lost tag or a seedling, I'm not sure which.  It's growing in a bed that contains lots of Fritillaria meleagris, but the flowers are very narrow and not checkered.  Does anyone know what it might be?

A form of F. pyrenaica ?

Hi there I reckon Maggi is correct. It does look very like the pyrenaica I grow. It does vary a bit in outer colour but all mine have that lovely centre zoning.
