It should have orange flowers but I'm pretty sure this plant is blind.

In mine I found some red insect looking a bit like ladybirds but without the spots on them and the bodies were more oval the round, I don't know what were they but I supposed they were eating my fritillaria so I killed them.

I feed them with comfrey liquid to to help them to grow stronger.

Make sure you get their poo-covered larvae too! They do the most damage.

Thanx Moonkins, I googled for lily beetles and I recognised them from the pix.
