Fritillaria persica - green form, seed from Lower Galilee.  (Thanks Oron)
2 year old seedlings have survived our recent cold spell kept fairly dry and under the bench in my cold greenhouse.  Can I get them to flowering size?  .... This post will be long forgotten by that time if I do :)

The frit was lovely, the picture less so in that I tried to enlarge it too much to fill the screen. I'll re-do it some time.

taken outside Erzurum in Eastern Turkey. They completely filled a long gully. The next one had Fritillaria  armena in it and the ridge between Iris reticulata

Tony, Visited the site in April when there was about 50 cm of snow and no plants
visible of course.
Would you please tell what the yellow flowers are, growing together with the frits?

Gerd as Oron says they are gagea.I visited twice second week in May. There are two good areas that I know, one the Kop Dag but here they are a very poor form and another between Erzerum and Cat where my pictures were taken. After my second visit I know that large numbers of the flowering size plants were dug up but fortunately it makes masses of rice grains so the site was not destroyed.

Oron, Tony!
Thank you for clarification! In fact I should know it - Gagea are the most abundant
plants in Turkey.

Here are  two photos of the charming, if slightly "odd" flowers of Fritillaria davidii..... these pix were first posted in the "FloweringNow" section, but I felt they deserved a wide audience, so I am reposting them here..... grown and photographed by Derek Bacon......
