I only grow M. stellata and it's quite a bit behind yours.<br />Your Fritillaria reminded me that last weekend I took my wee niece to the GC with me and I told her that it smelt gorgeous - of course she soon found out that wasn't the case when she got here nose up close and personal :) <br />Nice new Trillium btw!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682908724307784154noreply@blogger.com
