Title: Fritillaria from Rhodes/Greece
Post by: Gerdk on May 13, 2009, 12:09:38 PM: This morning I took a pic of a Fritillaria species from Rhodes. The plant is cultivated by Erich Pasche who is looking for a name. Any guesses?
(Sorry for the bad quality of the pics)

Lesley, you are right. I only noticed the larger shape of the flower and didn't count the petals.
