Snakeshead Fritillary..24th march '12

Wow - stunning!!

Hi Sheilar...Nice little things, aren't they?...:>)

I've had no luck over the years with the snakeshead ones. However I've tried a pack of lemony coloured ones (I'm not sure if they've come up as I've planted so many bulbs, I can't remember which tub I put them in! Another 'senior moment' lol)

Lol...I do that all the time, i planted the little ones that are brown and yellow, cant remember the name of them...No sign of them though....

Ah, that may be the pack I planted. I've got something coming up in a tub which I originally thought were tulips but they're very thin and as the heads are developing, they're starting to 'droop' as the fritillary do. Here's hoping! :o))

Yes, that will be them...:>)

These are gorgeous Moti.

One of my Favorites .Planing a drift of them in the grass if they will grow

These look lovely :o)

Looks as if I may have one survivor!

Thanks folks..
