As promised I'm back with another bulbous plant^^
here two photos of the plant, it had flowers shaped similar to lily, with a white-like colour but I didn't have my cell phone to take photos, so I could make it 1 week later. Now it has seed pod I guess. Here are the photos. Sorry for bad quality.

Arda,

From the seedpods, I'd be guessing a Tulipa species of some sort?  Does that fit with the flower you saw?

Arda,
I agree with Paul. The seed pod looks like the T. clusiana pods I have last year.

Do Tulipa seedpods not have a pointed apex? Certainly some do. I thought Fritillaria when I saw the 2nd picture.

I think a Frit seed pod for sure. Will get Ian to have a closer looks but it could be one of quite a few! He's busy for the next day or so.... Chelsea  Flower Show to go to tomorrow.

I'm inclined to agree with Maggi - a frit seed pod. The capsule appears to be unwinged, so if we knew the locality we could have a guess at the species.

Arda,
I absolutely agree with Maggi and Lesley, it is a Fritillaria seed pod.

Hello
After 2 years I totally forgot this topic
But today I've found a frit species which lives in my city according to http://turkherb.ibu.edu.tr/index.php?sayfa=210&name=26

Here is a photo of Fritillaria pinardii
It really looks like the plant in my first photo









too bad I killed my little bulb 1 year ago =(

My previous post is wrong.
The plant is Fritillaria flescheriana.

Fritilaria pinardii and  F. fleischeriana can appear very similar!

Yes indeed Maggi, but I can safely say that I became a F.flescheriana expert :D. One of few species in my area.
