>One Fritillaria thunbergii (?) is in bloom. The lone survivor from a batch >of a couple dozen bulbs of various Chinese Frits obtained several years >ago. Commercial bulbs of Fritillaria pallidiflora are in bud, as is one >seedling plant of F. pallidiflora. Frit. crassifolia kurdica from Jane >McGary are up in the rock garden and again in bud. Last year they set lots >of seeds, which I scattered around the main clump. My F. michailovskyi (sp?) are blooming now. They come back reliably each & every year. I also have a couple F. meleagris (sp?) but those aren't blooming yet. Dennis in Cincy
