Fritillaria from tissue culture

Two friends who are also PBS members, Jan Jeddeloh and Emma Elliott,
raised some Fritillaria eduardii in tissue culture using tissue from the
ovary of a bud on my only plant of this species. (They're having success
with Lilium species.) Jan would like to wean the young plants out of
the agar medium now, but previous attempts (including one by me) have
failed. F. eduardii is a member of the Imperiales section, which
includes the familiar garden species Fritillaria imperialis and
Fritillaria raddeana. Does anyone on this forum have experience growing
these by tissue culture, with success at the crucial point of moving
from sterile medium to growing in an ordinary pot? Can you offer advice,
please?
