Erythronium 2016

A murine autopsy with examination of gastric content provided the smoking gun Maggi.
Erythronium leaf, erythronium flower, peanut butter, cheap cider and cheesy Doritos -guilty as charged!

[Maggi Young]

I'd reckoned without your medical thoroughness, Steve! Yup, guilty!

No photos Steve? 

[Maggi Young]

Ashley, don't you encourage him! (Even though the photos would surely be of very high quality.....)

Is your middle name "Quincy" by any chance?

The Erythroniums are lasting and lasting this spring what with the cool temps, highs in the 10c range and lows in the 5-7c range. 

Photos  1-2

A new little patch of E. 'White Beauty' which seems to have taken a long time to settle in and get going.  The former group mysteriously disappeared after many years of happily growing away, not uncommon as also reported by other gardeners.

Photos 3-4 

Not sure if this is 'Pagodoa' or another look-alike - was the name 'Kumondo' or something similar? - that I foolishly planted in close proximity.  One vanished but with which am I left?

Just be thankful he wasn't out with camera in hand on naked gardening day..........

Good morning, John,
Do you mean Erythronium californicum x tuolumnense Kondo?

Yes thanks, that's exactly the one.  Do you think that is it in the photo or is it 'Pagoda'?

At home, here "Pagoda"




And "Kondo"



In view of the brands on the foliage, I would go on '' Pagoda". Others also have an idea?

I grew the following Erythronium from SRGC seed sown in January 2010.  There are three seed pods.  I would like to send the seed to the seed exchange but want to be sure it is correctly named (which might be difficult from photographs).

Erythronium californicum x multiscapoideum

Erythroniums are awakening, with White Beauty in bloom.Itching to get the pollinating brushes out again.

Last year a new seedling bloomed, another Pagoda look-alike, but with a fairly deep red centre.Unfortunately only one bloom per stem  opened, hoping for a better showing later this year with all blooms opening, if so, I think it's a keeper.
