Another Fritillary. This crown imperial is a lovely red colour. You can see here why it's important to plant on its side - there is a large hole in the middle of the bulb and this could collect with water over time. #fritillary #fritillaria #fritillaria-imperialis #crownimperial

No probs Mo! π They should look good - which colour/s did you go for? @mojo

They are yellow but I can't remember which variety Richard as I'm not at home at the moment will check and tell you later βΊοΈ

I've still not managed to get mine planted Richard but did manage to find out which one it is, it's Fritillaria maxima lutea and has yellow flowers π. Well it hopefully will have if I get it planted! @richard.spicer.7906 π
