Fritillaria persica

that's a nice one Ph...

Absolutely stunning - I want one!!!

Thanks both, Sheilar you can buy these as dry bulbs in the Autumn, it's cheaper than buying them as grown plants :o)

I'll keep an eye out for them then

Me too....beautiful....

Thanks Moti :o)

Spectacular!

That is wonderful!

Its not like snakes head fritillaria? Is it the same family?
Are these difficult to grow?

Thanks both, Sticky yes it is the same family, they like full sun, I put some fine grit under mine to help drainage, also watch out for slugs and snails when the buds first come through. :o)

havent really got full sun ~ only slugs and snails ~ perhaps i had better just enjoy looking at your photos!! thanks, they are lovely

This is a beautiful example Ph . stunning :o)

Thanks Amy :o)))

Lovely plant and a stunning picture...

Thanks Rbt, they are growing really well this year I have a couple of others in bud, I think they have enjoyed the dry winter.

Tõesti ilus liik,külvasin isegi sel kuul selle taime seemneid...ehk kolme aasta pärast hakkab õitsemagi :)

See voib votta aasta seemne lill, see taim on istutatud nagu pirn eelmisel aastal, ma toesti nagu lill varvi.
Loodan, et saate aru, et see tolge :o)

Sellel F.persica liigil on olemas ju ka valgeõieline sort,aga tume õis on ilusam.
Eestis ma ei ole sibulatena seda taime müügil näinud, sain seemned ühest Inglismaa seemnepoest,olen põnevil,mis kasvama hakkab:).
Saate mulle vastata alati inglise keeles,Google tõlgib automaatselt :).
