New photos and questions

I have posted several photos on the wiki and have some questions about the
plants that I hope more experienced growers can answer.
One narcissus:

I would appreciate opinions on the identity of these plants, which are
close but not exactly matching the description.
Three fritillarias:

No questions about that one but I like the photo.

As noted in the Information page, I think the "F. latifolia" must be a
hybrid with F. tubiformis because of the glaucous leaves. The slightly
deformed flower may result from frost damage while developing, or from the
fact that this seedling is flowering for the first time, or from the fact
that it is a hybrid. The plants of F. tubiformis appear to be correctly
named but note that I got a mixture of color forms from cultivated seed.
