A red x a red and white flowers, a surprise every day.Podophyllum (delavayi x pleianthum) DP#87, white flowers 2017john
Podophyllums from Bjornar's seed collection"Podophyllum hexandrum- Lake Mugeco". Plenty of variation in both shape and markings.The last photo is my favourite to date. I probably killed the best one (had to move several, and thought I was done, so started to plant the "empty" bed, only to decapitate perhaps the largest before it had emerged from the ground)
Regarding the severed Podophyllum.... I managed to slice off the emerging growth when I dug some holes for new plants. I wonder if the whole thing is lost, or if it will manage to come back from the intact crown next year?
It might even come back from the roots if not too immature.john
I love Podophyllums, but it seems only P.hexandrum is hardy enough to grow here. I lost all my seedlings of P.pleianthum-versipelle-complex in winter 2016 which was very cold . They were grown from seeds I got from Ashley.

Probably the location is very important.
after pollination 5 of my plants developed a new stem and a small leaf at the junction where the flowers are making them look like delavayi with 3 leaves
