I love fritillaries. The white ones are nice if you can get them.

I didn't realise the white ones were a different plant! I bought the normal purpley ones and white ones have sprung up in the tub alongside it. I thought they were mutations or something :)

Hi Amy, I've just read a comment on Spritz's recent photo of F.meleagris and apparently they seed freely and can be collected. Just thought I'd mention. I hope mine flower :-)
