now named, found tag, fritillaria assyriaca uva-vulpis

Lovely photo Sandra on first glance I thought they were tulips but I can see they are not tulips now :-)

It's a type of Fritillaria. I can't remember it now but I have grown them in the past. They are fascinating.

I had a look on google for Fritillaria and maybe it is a snake head Fritillaria Sandra

thanx richard, ive seen your new blog pics, very good ;o) its not got the snake markings richard
im sure i kept the tag hywel, will have to look tomorrow, they are lovely ;o))

Thanks Sandra you have been so helpful :-)

It's not the snake head one but a relative of it. I 'll try and find the name.

It looks like Fritillaria pinardii.

found tag hywel its fritillaria assyriaca uva-vulpis, what a mouth full lol

lol - I'm glad you found it. I would never remember all that :D

i wont remember it either hywel lol

We will just name him Mr Frit for short Sandra then we will all know who you are talking about ..lol :-)

Its a lovely one. I like how it seems dipped in yellow. :-)

lol richard :o)) nice one
cheers Gt, once my new pond is settled in and rocks/pebbles in place will plant this in the ground, hope it comes back each year for me ;o)

Very pretty, Sanbaz, not like my snakeshead but obviously a close relative :)

thanx Gee yes from same family, i saw some snakesheads today in B&Q but i didnt get one, did get 5 assorted rockery plants for £5 and a tray of spreading plant reduced to £1.50, composs and growmore to feed bulbs which need to be done now to get more flowers next year,

You are getting plenty of stock in Sandra. Your pool and surrounding rockery will look a picture when it is finished. It is a lovely day here so I will be going out in the garden soon to see what needs doing :-)

thanx richard i got a few more plants today lol, rockery spreading ones to go inbetween, stopped raining but dull here, but pond seems ok ;o)

I didn't stay in the garden long Sandra although the sun is out there is a biting cold wind. It will warm up later in the week so the weatherman said..hope it is right. You may get a chance to get on with your pond then :-)

fantastic San

yes cold wind here to richard but ive repotted geranium cuttings, and my begonias, also nipped buds off bizzy lizzies so they grow up a bit first lol, all in growhouse now to toughen up a bit, spare room was getting a bit full,;o)
thankyou yorkshire ;o))

What ever its name is its lovely.

thanx holly and carol :o))

What a mouthful would never remember that in a month of Sundays !! I like the look of it though, quite exotic.

I think that is a very good idea San......!!
