Chloris
Oh, I am full of fritillaria envy.
Do you not grow any Fritillaria Kate?
I’d like to, they are so beautiful, especially naturalised in long grass. We enjoy heavy acidic clay which comes with extremes. Either poorly drained, shady areas where wild spotted orchids & moss do well or hard as concrete dominated by couch grass … Do you think snakes’ heads would fare well here? I’d love to try them!
These are really beautiful, especially Fritillaria pudica, I like to see the under sides too, the markings are just as stunning.
Fritillaria pudica is not always easy to grow although the others here are all easy. The insides of the Crown Imperial are so beautiful.
Beautiful selection, I must try more varieties!
These are all easy ones Pauline, except Fritillaria pudica which can be a bit miffy.
A beautiful collection. I’m not familiar with these and no doubt could never grow them, but they are lovely.
Is it too hot for them where you live Tina? What a pity, they are an intriguing genus.
Lovely collection. I’m pleased you photograph the inside of the corolla on the F. imperalis, sometimes the inside of the flower is even more stunning than the outside.
I agree, the insides of the Crown Imperial are exquisite.
beautiful Fritillaria, Frances
I love them, they are so exotic.
Wonderful. That orange Fritillary imperialism is amazing. I don’t see fritillaria here often but my garden club asked each member to bring a small mug filled with flowers to the last meeting. One little woodland-themed cup featured fritillaria and I thought to myself my U.K. blogging friends would have loved it. Turned out the woman responsible is from UK (didn’t have a chance to find out where).
Oh, I wonder which one your friend brought? Was it the curious little snakeshead fritillary? They are very easy to grow and spread quickly from seed.
Yes, I think it was the snakehead fritillary. I’ve been to a wonderful flower show this week and saw quite a few. Apparently they can grow well here. Perhaps I’ll try them.
Absolutely gorgeous. Oh I wish. Hark, I hear a pheasant calling..
They love the snakeshead frits. At the moment I am incadescent with rage because the the pheasant who haunts my garden, the one we call the Vicar, has pulled the heads of my precious Erythronium.
What a treat! I have only ever come across the orange and the checkered ones, never other colours. Lovely.
There are over a hundred different ones Cynthia and all of them are beautiful and intriguing. Some of them are a challenge to grow.
Goodness, Chloris. I had no idea there were so many.
Beautiful. I really like the shape of Fritillaria verticillata.
I love it, it is very elegant and builds up to a good sized plant.
Fabulous, indeed. Love them all. I have this vague feeling I saw a tropical one,,hmmm.
They do look exotic but they are Eurasian, North African or North American. The enchanting little snakeshead fritillary is native here. There are meadows of it in Suffolk and Oxfordshire.
What a collection you’ve got!
Oh but not enough Kris. There are more than 100 different ones and I would love to increase my collection. I have had some beauties which dwindled and died.
Oh, good subject for a wordless post! Impressive collection!
Do you grow any Beth?
Lovely pictures. I’m not keen on them but see why people like them. xx
Oh how can you not love frits, speciially the intriguing snakeshead?
Fabulous! I must add more to the garden Chloris. I didn’t find out until last spring that the lily beetles are partial when I was most disgusted to come across them on fritillaria meleagris. I felt like crying.
The wretched lily beetles start the year on frits as an hors d’ oeuvre before moving on to the liliies.
Gosh, what a treasure trove! They’re all gorgeous. Thanks for letting me know what has popped up in my garden….uva-vulpis, not planted by me, the reds must have dug them up and put them in my border. I’m certainly not complaining.xxx
Frit uva vulpis is a nice persistant one unlike the similar but much prettier F.michailovskyi.
Wow. Please tell me that you struggle to grow them well, it would make me feel much better.
They are all the easy ones, I have lots of failures with other frits, some are very miffy.
Uva-vulpis persistent – not here it isn’t!! Although I think there may be one (hmm) emerging in the woodland edge border – not that emerging means anything, sadly…. 😦 F pudica looks a sweetie – not seen her before. Thanks for sharing ps squashed my first lily beetle of the year earlier this week…
Gorgeous frits!
Chloris, that orange imperialis is gorgeous! I have tried growing them in yellow and red, but I think my soil must be too clay-filled and soggy (even put grit in the planting hole). I guess I’ll just enjoy yours vicariously. Thanks for sharing them! -Beth
I adore these flowers!
Lovely! I think I like the F. imperialis best.
