We had been wondering when and if the Fritillaria would show up. I thought I was checking the area every day or two whenever I brought out the compost or coffee. Then one day this thing showed up...must have popped right out of the ground over night. Pretty strong plant I guess.
We got the thing out by Great Falls, Va. Stopped by a garden center near Cousin Elizabeth's place last fall. A kindly staff member and apparent fritillaria enthusiast talked us into this one. She seemed excited when we told her we like odd things and she brought us straight to the fritillaria. They get quite big: 3-5 feet and have multiple hanging flowers. They have a smell that squirrels find off-putting so if this thing works, there will be more.
