Fritillaria imperialis is the name. These are usually sold early in the autumn, they must be plant while fresh as they don't like to be dried too much.

Unless you get one in a pot growing you will have to wait, mine has nearly finished flowering now so it would be better to wait. You might be lucky enough to find one about to flower but unless you could get it locally it wouldn't travel well, they start to grow early in the season.

I took this on 23rd March when most of the bells were open, so they lasted a good 2 weeks, they have only just started to die off in the last couple of days.
