Eranthis 2016

[hadacekf]

Eranthis hyemalis flowers early and plentiful in my meadow.

Mine start coming too. In all, I have three plant Eranthis hyemalis (40 tubers planted in autumn) and a plant Eranthis cilicica on (20 tubers planted).
Below, two photos of E. cilicica, already with his aphids ... 
They passed from life to death, I spent my finger on it.  Strongly waking ladybugs.

Thank you for sharing.

viewed closely....

   ... that's certainly the way to enjoy these beautiful plants - they are so tiny!

With developed petals, it is even more beautiful.

Interesting discussion  "elsewhere"  about whether there is any  difference between Eranthis aurantiaca  and 'Orange Glow' ........

........can't see a difference to 'Orange Glow'

~~~~~ petals all yellow. just a bit of orange round the stamens


##### There's seems to be some debate over when the name 'Orange Glow' was attached. I saw a large clump in Rev Blakeway-Phillips garden back in the 1990s and my plants came from here. It is possible the Rev who had a small nursery at the time gave it that name. The patch was very well established with lots of seedlings.

**** There is no difference.. 'Aurantiaca' was found in 1950 in Bikely nursery, Denmark...given to the botanical garden of Copenhagen and to some Dutch breeders in 1958 and was first sold as 'Orange Glow' by Richard Blakeway-Philips in 1989. This cultivars has officially been regsitered as 'Orange Glow' in 2009. Another name for the same cultivar is 'Copenhagen Orange'

#### Thanks for the explanation.

**** Took a while to trace back it's origin and the naming history, but this makes it the eldest selected cultivar,

......... Many thanks


~~~~ doesnt it depend whether the Vicar (Rev. Blakeway Phillips) imported it or it appeared in his garden of its own accord?

**** of course, forgot to add that the vicar got it from Denmark!
