    A fritillary? What sort is it  and what type of thing are you looking for? It may be the wrong time to buy them but it's the right time to plan and order.

    Cotswold Garden Flowers has some pretty rare and esoteric types available in pots. You could also try specialist plant fairs etc. I doubt you'll find them mail order, as they're really delicate.



    I'd wait for the Autumn bulb catalogues though, personally.

    Parkers sell the bulbs, and unlike for plants their bulbs are good. They are usually available from late summer.

    You can get good selections from Peter Nyssen, Bloms Bulbs or De Jager, for Autumn planting. Compare prices carefully, some of the unusual ones are expensive! PN is my usual supplier, reliable, good quality and a fair price, but you do get different varieties by shopping around. Happy hunting!
