Fritillaria imperialis

Ooh! Much excitement on my dressing gown wander, as I found this little beauty just hanging about 💛 (looks like my firkling in the fritillaries paid off Jacq! 🤭 although there are no buds on the others yet...should I firkle more? 🤔😉🙊@awomanonabike ) #crownimperial #fritillary #fritillaria-imperialis Have a snuggly Saturday flowers 🌸

I also have 3 popping up.... citing ain't it 🙂

Fabulous 💛- a dressing gown wander 🤔 which style do you recommend for this weather ☔️💨 😉

Ohhh lovely Chuck 💛💛

Oh look at that 💛 Firkling is just so rewarding 😉😂

Hope you've got a waterproof thermal dressing gown!

Very! 😬 specially as none flowered last year! @scaryskates

Mine did 😝

One made of neoprene! Just looking on M&S to see if they do one! 😆 @telswirld although it’s probably more S&M than M&S 🤣🤣🤣

Dead chuffed me duck! 😬🌼💛 @juliesgarden

Isn’t it Jacq?! I may even have a glass of milk to celebrate! 😉🤣 @awomanonabike

Errr nope Sue! There’s definitely a gap in the market! @lilybee

Look Jacqueline! After a quick firkle 😉 I found this! Can’t believe how much it’s come on in two days!! And I now have five of the nine I planted! Woohoo!! @awomanonabike #bulbs #fritillaria-imperialis

Here they come!

Love the sound of that word 'firkle' What does it mean Rachel @rachelbrooks 😃💕

Don’t they grow quickly! So exciting. Amazing what you can find with a good firkle Rachel 😉 Firkle: to root around or rummage for something, eg in a flower pot for a fritillary 😬 @sho47

Just love it Jacqueline 😍@awomanonabike Rachel @rachelbrooks 😃💕

Whoo hoo mi Amiga @rachelbrooks have you been walking around with your eyes shut again 🙈😘

Oooo I’ve just looked this up Rachel. What a cool plant 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Well something has chomped on mine , only a couple of pathetic leaves left ... gutted !😖

Amazing what a quick firkle will do Rachel. Lovely ☺️

And I am so happy to see them Laura! Planted them really late and the bulbs didn’t feel very firm so didn’t have high hopes! Isn’t mama nature clever?! 💚 @columbiariver

It’s a great word isn’t it Shona?! 😂 I never knew I could firkle until Jacqueline told me! She’s an awesome firkler! 😉 @sho47 oh and I found no. 6 too! Happy bunny here! @awomanonabike

Who said that?! I can’t see... @jadojado29 🙈😜😘
