Fritillaria Michailovskyi

there unusual, never seen these sort before..........

So do I, they're fabulous.

Thanks folks :-))

Wow! Worth the wait for these, definitely.

Pretty pic Louise :o)

Thanks Clematisa and Tt, yes .... most definately worth the wait Clematisa.
I'll plant some more 'again' this autumn and see what happens to them !

Very striking - worth the wait, I'd say, Louise

Thanks Bamboo, yes indeed worth it :-)

lovely colour..they look like they have been polished !

Yes, they do look smooth, don't they !

We had some but they seem to have disappeared this year !

Try spelling the latin name without looking!!! LOL. It's very different to to F. meleagris, but I do like it. :-))

Gardening is all about patience.........

I really like these, too. :-)

Spritz, i changed the spelling of this plant umpteen times because each way looked wrong !!!
Shouldn't have been so lazy and 'should' have looked up the spelling immediately !!!

I'm glad you got some blooms at last, I put some in a couple of years ago, and haven't seen them since LOL

Don't give up - has to be the moral of the story !
Keep at it every year !!!

Louise - I wouldn't have a CLUE how to spell it - I didn't even know the latin name...sorry if you thought I was having a 'dig' at you - I wasn't! :-(((((

I didn't take it that way at all, my friend, i know your sense of humour well and i just took it as you chuckling as you said it :-)))

:-)) xx

So unusual Louise...look like little chocolate beans!

I love them as well Louise but not much luck with them, BUT now I have had some advice JUST WATCH THIS SPACE .............fingers crossed.
I hope I can send you a nice photo next Spring x
