Inverted Tulips

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has ever managed to source the inverted tulip in the uk? It's a common mountain tulip from Iran (Persian name laleh vajgon). I'd love to find and (try) to grow it for my partners family.
I'm really struggling to find it anywhere online. Has anyone seen it knocking around anywhere? Maybe under a different name?
I'm an enthusiastic amateur so my research techniques are left wanting...
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Here's some photos for reference :

Fritillaria imperialis - quite common in UK gardens - I have some.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fritillaria imperialis (crown imperial) is the nearest thing here rich. It looks like the same plant from your photos although I've not heard it called a tulip. It's a member of the lily family

Ahhh thanks so much for your help! After a quick google I now feel silly
. All that googling the Persian name!
Thanks again, much appreciated!
Easy to over complicate things rich!
But then - it's only easy if you know the answer!
You'll have no problem finding a stockist I should think.
