Bob Wallis is the chairman of The Fritillaria Group in the UK. He has, together with his wife, grown and travelled the world to see fritillaria for over 50 years. In my interview with him he shared - how he first discovered his passion for fritillaries - how he learned about growing them and about their native habitats - how his holiday planing develops into research projects - stories from places around the Northern hemisphere he has travelled to - tips for those who want to travel to remote locations to find their favourite plants - how books written 100 years ago can still help today localizing plants in the wild - which fritillaries are easy to grow if you want to start your own fritillaria garden Accompanying to this episode you will find two short videos with Bob on the Fritillaria genus and a travel to an alpine area in Anatolia with lots of pictures of native fritillaries.
