Erythronium 2014

[Oakwood]

My dog's teeth plants blooming now in SE Ukraine (already more likely in Russia)

My E. sibiricum seedlings' first bloom of mystic blue color....
The seeds were collected from E. sibiricum "Белый Царь - White Tsar" (originator - G. Skakunov)

Keep safe Dima.

Keep safe Dima.

Indeed - our thoughts are with you at this dangerous time.

Erythronium krylovii sp.n. from the Altai forests 

A lovely plant - described as : Erythronium krylovii Stepanov
 Vestn. Krasnoyarsk. Gosud. Agrar. Univ. 8: 62. 2011  - and with a synonym shown as Erythronium sibiricum ssp. altaicum Rukšāns

More photos http://www.plantarium.ru/page/image/id/35163.html - including some from  Nikolai Stepanov.


Is there an online copy of the description, Dima?

The ?seedling in my little woodland bed is maturing nicely. Does anyone recognise it as a species? I don't remember planting it

Wonderful Erythroniums everyone.

Gene there are a couple of e. revolutums with stunning foliage in your photo.

I managed to get hold of e. revolutum 'God's valley form' on Saturday. The large flowers have gone over however it is particularly noted for its beautifully marked foliage.

There are patches of seedlings in my garden that I hope one day will put on a show Like Ian's & Maggi's.

Zdenek, you've got here really E. sibiricum album 

Thanks for your notice, Dimitri. I have come to my computer only today, sorry.
It is quite surprise for me. Are there any more differences between those two except the yellowish tint ?

It's a californicum, Mark, similar to White Beauty

Thanks Maggi. I have no idea where it came from

[mark smyth]

will I self pollinate it?

 For me , caucasicum leaf  markings are more all over the leaf and there are more brown - edit - Dima says  they're red not brown! - marks in the flower throat - not very scientific, I know!

[Maggi Young]

will I self pollinate it?

Why not? Though if it has come from a White Beauty originally it may prove to be good  at  increasing vegetatively.

Thanks, Mike!  With God's Valley form and its like you will soon get there.

Thanks, Margaret.
I enclose here also one of eleven flovers from the last week on my carpet of 1,5 m diameter of Erythronium americanum.
