Apologies for the sideways upload.

Where can I get the bulbs for this plant? It's great!!

Thanks,

    Fritillaria imperialis 'Crown Imperial'...I agree, beautiful.  Check with your garden centre re bulbs.

    Plant the big hollow bulb on its side so that water does not sit in the hollow and rot the bulb.

    Watch out for molluscs as they love the leaves. They are also a food plant of the dreaded lily beetle so you need to keep an eye open for them too.
