Yes Ed, as it happens oreganum was planted next to the darker revolutums from which I collected the seed although White Beauty was nearby as well. (provided what I call oreganum is actually oreganum!)
I will have a better look once things start to flower here. Also I will look at the other paler hybrid and see if the filaments are different.
The problem in garden situations is everything trys to hybridise and although I generally bulk up by divisions, if I am short on a particular plant I use seed, this is true for revolutums as they don't bulk up so easily. I have also got various hybrids from hendersonii. I have included a picture from last year from what I think is a hendersonii hybrid and also hendersonii. I sow a lot of Ron Ratko's seed as well, but am a bit lax in keeping records of the locations , labels are usually lost by the time they get to flowering size.

Wow, Hans!!  Spectacular.  What's the white one you posted first, with the strong orange centre?  And some of the leaves on the ones you posted...... stunning!!  :o

That first white one is the Erythronium sibericum that Ian spoke of, Paul.  Just a gorgeous thing.... but they ALL are!

The backdrop to your garden looks just as wonderful as the Erythroniums. Can we see a good picture of that?

After three weeks of horrible weather - here's Erythronium multiscapodium cliftonii.
It opened up for the first time in today's sunshine but you can see it took a real battering in the preceeding weeks - even with the flowers still closed  :'(

I bought this plant at a local AGS Group show.

Could someone identify it for me as I do not think it is dens-canis.  Not bad for €2.00

Excuse bad photos as plant was hand held at arms length.
