bulbous Corydalis

[Lvandelft]

Maggi, No - I did nothing   
It seems the double pics disappeared as by a miracle.

Relax Gerd, it has nothing to do with being a Senior(member) 
I did see four pictures too this morning (I hope?)

Luit,
This is the proof! It was no Fata Morgana!
It seems older people spot more than the younger ones (because they get up earlier)

Gerd, perhaps Fred was here and saw your extra pix and made the change, I don't know!
 Yes, you may make such changes yourself: click "modify" and then when your post appears in the text box, click  "additional options".... this will bring up a list of the attachments you made and you can remove any, or all, by unclicking the little box beside them  then clicking "save".

AH! the mystery is solved.........it was a pixie who removed the extra pix..... Ian was viewing the Forum, he was logged in as M. and removed the pix for Gerd! 

[Gerdk]

Thank you Maggi - also thanks to the pixie

Would you like to post here brief descriptions of C. cava s.str. and C. marschalliana s.str. from the Liden-Zetterlund book ?
They grow side by side in my garden.

Yuri,
Sorry, I returned the Corydalis book to the owner, a friend who lives near Osnabrück. I'll meet him not until the middle of May.
If you are interested in a copy of the pages relating to the aforementioned species please send a p.m. with your address.

Yuri,
Here is a copy from the book.
'Corydalis marschalliana - Its main distinguishing characters are said to be entire obovate to elliptic leaf-lobes(apically dentate in C.cava), a small solid rounded tuber(becoming conical,large and concave in C cava), yellow flowers(purple,red or white in C.cava and a tetraploid chromosome number(diploid in C cava)'
Hope this helps.
I have two distinct forms of C. cava. One I got years ago as C. cava alba and another recently aquired from Ruksans as C.cava. The former is much smaller and finer but both as far as I can see have concave tubers, they are distinct to look at but I persume they are both C cava.

[Yuri Pirogov]

Thank you, Susan
I'm noticed too that the top of stem and bracts of C. cava are usually purple even if flowers are white whereas the top of stem and bracts of C. marschalliana stay usually green even if flowers are purple coloured. The tuber of C. marschalliana could be 3 cm in diameter and even larger but never concave.
So I do not see any feature of C. marschalliana (except tuber probably ) in the Gerd's specimen from Croatia.
I enclose several colour forms of Corydalis marschalliana from North Caucasus.

Interesting Corydalis sp. appeared in my garden. It is not C. sewerzowii nor  C. maracandica

Lovely, whatever it is

[Oron Peri]

C. triternata starts to bloom now, it is common at the northern part of the Golan Heights and on Mt. Hermon
 growing often at the base of Oak trees.

[Gerdk]

    Another surprise from your country!

Another surprise... C. rutifolia, growing in stony places on Mt. Hermon usually above 1400m
In  Flora Palaestina it was described as C. erdelii.
