    Sorry Ron, that is incorrect. I've also received a guess of F. aurea which is also incorrect. Good to know someone is reading the blog. I'll update some pictures soon

      Well done Sir! That is Fritillaria pudica 'Richard Britten' getting an early start! I know Ron really wanted to guess that as well!
