There were masses of Fritillaria graeca alongside 'Nikos's' new path on Hymettos. Imperfect photos from phone again.

I grew this from seed labelled Frit gussichiae but it looks to me to be a very dwarf form of fritillaria graeca; what do others think?

Fritillaria graeca is certainly quite variable in shape of petals and colour, and possibly height as well.

Fritillaria
Growing in a pot, first outside then in the house.
Last year we only had one flower so were thrilled with three this year.
The bulbs came from the UK and I think the packet just said Fritillaria

Fritillaria uva -vulpis naturalise very quickly when happy, a welcome addition to any spring garden and good in
pots too.
