I seem to have some hybrids among California Fritillaria species raised from home-grown seed. I would post pictures of them on the wiki if I knew how to sign in, but I have not tried to post anything since it changed, and apparently I need a password which I do not know, or else I don't know exactly how to enter my user name. Anyway, I apologize if anyone has grown plants from my garden seeds of Fritillaria purdyi and/or Fritillaria biflora, and now has seedlings in flower that don't look like what they are supposed to be. It appears that both groups of plants produced at least a few hybrid seeds. The one with F. purdyi as a seed parent is quite large, flowering probably 2 years before the other seedlings in its group, with 10 flowers on a stout stem -- impressive! -- but the flowers have a greenish ground color rather than the creamy white of F. purdyi, though they are marked like that species. The ones with F. biflora as a seed parent are similar, but smaller, with only 2 or 3 flowers per stem on first flowering; they have typical purdyi checkering rather than the "tips and stripes" of biflora. Some apparently pure biflora seedlings are flowering in the same group. I will search around and see if I can find out how to access the wiki during the next few days, to show these interesting plants. Interesting but disappointing to some, no doubt, because biflora is dead common and purdyi is much sought after. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon
