Fritillaria Imperialis Rubra (bulb), Luhansk region.

A very beautiful early-flowering plant.
There is a hole inside the bulb, formed by a shoot that has dried up after flowering. It is there that flower buds are formed for flowering in the next season. You will be surprised by the sharp, unpleasant, slightly garlicky smell of the bulbs, but this has its advantages. Mice also do not like the ego, so they avoid it.
Bulbs are dug up in June, when the peduncles turn yellow and begin to die. Clean them from the soil, wash and dry in a warm, ventilated place. After 2-3 days, we put the bulbs for storage. Choose a dry, dark, ventilated room with a temperature no higher than 30°, otherwise the bulbs will begin to lose moisture and shrivel. The storage period does not last long: from June (harvesting time) to the end of August, when the bulbs begin to grow new roots.

In early spring, when tulips, hyacinths and daffodils appear, grouse begins to grow actively. As soon as the last snow falls, the grouse begins rapid growth and reaches its maximum height in two weeks.

His only escape is powerful, straight and hard. The leaves are located in a lush bush in the lower part of the shoot. The top of the peduncle is decorated with a red-orange inflorescence. The flowers are drooping and have the shape of a bell.
