I've just been tending to my flower border and I have a plant that I just can't remember what it is. I vaguely remember planting something in it's position but can't for the life of me remember what.
Ahh I think you may be right! I just remembered I bought a rather expensive bulb by the checkout at the garden centre last year as an impulse buy. I seem to remember having to bury it on its side to stop it rotting. God my memory is bad! I'd totally forgotten about it. Shame it's come up blind, I suppose it's only it's first year in its new home, perhaps it needs to bed in this year. Thanks for the ID folks, I'd never had fathomed it myself.

I can't help ID the plant but it is fabulous looking
Yeah, looks like something from an old Dr Who episode lol.
Is it fritillaria imperialis (sp?)
Mine have come up blind and look like that...
Ooh err! They're unusual! I don't remember planting one of them! I suppose it could have self seeded but I thought it was something I planted.
i have a fritillaria imperialis and i don't think it is one of them, mine stinks of cannabis lol.
It looks like Fritillaria Persica, mine has come up blind this year.
Cheers
