Lovely set of pictures Dirk.

Mark have you tried seed from Knightshayes Pink? I've had very good germination from the seed I sowed last year.

David I've also tried Kinfauns Pink and Snowgoose. Nothing ever grows. I simply scatter them where I want them to be

Thank you for the information Ed and Maggi.  Does Ian sell any of his wonderful Erythroniums?

The strange case of Erythronium #98 (seed collected along California highway 299, about 30 miles from the coast):  this is what they looked like in April 2013:

436456-0

This is what they look like today:

436458-1

436460-2

What happened to the pink markings?  Can anybody identify this species?  The flowers are much more yellow than my E. californicum, and the leaves are more narrow.

Maybe they will develop the pink as they fade. Were they all like that last year. Certainly lovely

Last year, every seedling from that collection had the pink markings.  It was their first year to bloom.  This year, no trace of the pink.  I moved them to a new location after they went dormant last year.  I'm sure it's not a labeling error.

A trip in the easternmost E. dens-canis population at the plain Ukraine. This one has the darkest-colored flowers, just the same as in E. sibiricum.
