Messing with my breeding program
This little guys back is so loaded with fritillaria pollen he can barely fly.
Fritillaria latakiensis
So I have no monograph and a Google search didn't turn up much on chromosome counts for the genus....but I put a whole lot of f. Recurva pollen on this thing just for fun. The growth habit, flower morphology and bloom timing are crazy congruent so we shall see!!!
Pouring like a mutha again in the valley. Supposed to do it all weekend too. Temps in the 50's and not much differential.
Cheers,
Mark
