The story of Fritillaria biflora Martha Roderick........

That's a very interesting story Wim. I remember 'Martha Roderick' being widely available in the 90s & very cheap. I also remember that it was difficult to establish & the bulbs tended to die after a year or so. This seemed to be a common problem with frit microprops.

We say it's  F. montana ...... nigra is not a "good" name.... is a  old synonym of pyrenaica but in cultivation it mostly turns out to be a form of montana .

Oleg,

your F. pyrenaica looks so happy.  What kind of soil is it growing in?

Thank you Robin and Jamie. Nothing special about the soil, but I topdress this flowerbed with selfmade compost mixed with sand once a couple of years + feed it with potassium following Ian Young's advice in his bulblog. You can see the traces of it at the bottom of the picture (white).

Could this be Fritillaria cirrhosa?

My only Fritillaria camtschatkensis Fl Pl is trying it out again. An "interesting" variety   ;D.
The yellow ones seem to like it nowadays.
I recieved this open-floering variety from a German friend. Is this the Alaskan form?
