Below is a picture of a couple seedlings from the bed in which I grow most of my Corydalis and Erythroniums. I have been known to moan in other threads that neither my Erythroniums nor my Corydalis seed around and I think the reason has been my regular use of the hoe. Last year when the plants died down I didn't hoe at all but rather covered the bed with a good top dressing of composted bark, hence I have seedlings! My question is though are they Corydalis or are they Erythroniums?

Baby Corydalis - lose that hoe, David. They are for vegetable gardens!
