Spring in Central Indiana

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.
