Bulbs: A 'confused' Fritillaria specie..., 1 by bonitin

Last October I have been indulging in ordering quite expensive Fritillarias from a Dutch bulb Company specialised in rare bulbs.

All of them were planted end October.

Now one of them, Fritillaria hermonis subsp. hermonis, came up already about a month ago. By now it is showing something that looks like a flower bud. This specie is supposed to bloom in April!!!
I moved it inside the house when I noticed it coming up, because I'm afraid to leave it outside in this harsh period of the year.
I wonder if this phenomenon is less rare than I think..
It's the only one of the whole lot (but other types) that does this.
I'm not having much hopes in seeing it in its full glory as I already had a bad experience with a martagon lily that showed a simular abnormal early growth..
