Fritillaria bucharica

thats very pretty

It really was nice Sticki!

would it need conditions similar to pleiones?

Sticki - I don't know yet!

.....yet? these are on the list too??

Could be!

im sure its a very long list

on the other hand i rather think that once you make a list they become reality!??

I've just added a photo of my latest purchase.

i saw that one ~ like a caterpillar? waiting for something beautiful to emerge??

I posted a link on the photo to the end result Sticki!

oh sorry, will go back and look ~ i have been up for 18 hours!!!

i LOVE it!!! its that calla lily shape which i adore but then its up another level!!

I like this one It,s different .......

There are some gems in the Arisaema genus Sticki - remember this...........

It's nice isn't it Amy!

Will it grow outside in our gardens Meanie ,I have a nice patch of the more common Meleagris in my grass ......

No! I had missed it! Its intriguing, I like it.

I'm not sure yet Amy.............

O.K Thanks anyway :o)

Very pretty. I like those flowers.

Meanie I've been out today and bought a Fritillaria Persica ... pretty purple bell like flowers , the one I bought is still in bud I will put a photo on when it's in flower .. also the helpful assistant tells me it's ideal to grow it in grassy areas outside ..........

My F.persica copped it in the frost! It came through far too early, so next time it'll be in a pot.
The F.imperialis came through only in the last couple of days and looks well. This is in a pot though, so I can take it with me.

I'm glad you've told me that before I've decided where to plant it Meanie , I will have to think again and like you maybe put it in a pot !!

That's what I'm here for Amy - so that you can learn from my mistakes!!

LOL.. that's good to know :o)

this is similar to the ones I saw at the Scottish Rock Garden Club early bulb display....stunning!

My thoughts on it too Karen!
