Fritillaria pudica 'Richard Britten'

In response to Susans question here is a picture of Richard Britten fully open



Fritillaria pudica

Here is one of the wild types, you can see its about a week behind. When the wild type colors up I'll put them side by side so you can see the comparison .

Temps in the mid to upper 50's and a few spots of sun has been very nice!

Cheers,
Mark
