Eranthis 2014

[WimB]

So what happens if you cross, say, 'Hafod' with 'Moonlight'?  I guess the seed parent could always beat the pollen parent or is it that these Eranthis are much more likely to be self-fertile than to be pollinated by a different variety, which is what makes them likely to come true.

I have no idea what would happen if you tried that particular cross...only one way to find out!!

Wim, thank you for boosting interest in Eranthis with your excellent IRG article.

Thanks, Poul!

Thanks, Karl. Wonderful form...I've got seedling of it, only 2 years old, so it'll be a couple of years before I can enjoy it too!

Curious for a pic of 'Barbara' (the plant, not your wife 

Hi Wim ,

here is now a pic of 'Barbara' ...the Eranthis - not my wife 

Eranthis 'Barbara'
Eranthis - comparison : left 'Schwefelglanz' -middle 'Barbara' - right a "normal E.hyemalis"

It is really difficould for cameras to make all the differences of yellow ...but with this picture is it a bit more clear

I do not have Zitronenfalter and the other light yellows ...but for me is clear a difference between all my other Eranthis

When you see them next to each other there is a clear difference Hans

Hi Hans,

looks really special. I have a feeling 'Zitronenfalter' is a bit paler and 'Lightning' is more bright....Barbara's colour seems somewhere in between. Very nice!

Very good form, Karl Probably you will have several ten albino seedlings next spring
