Art Guppy, who lived near me on Vancouver Island, Canada, died last year.

He wrote interesting articles about Erythroniums, and I think was the first to separate the species according to how their seeds were dispersed - by ants, or by movement of the capsule.

His articles have been collected here:  https://artguppy.wordpress.com/

My first ever seed grown Erythronium is flowering now, I am so happy!
It was sown in 2013 from seed exchange seeds as ex 'Ruapuna Dawn'.

A nice patch of an erythronium labelled as E. dens-canis recently seen in the BG Munich, maybe two weeks ago.. I believe it might rather be E. albidum. Any thoughts?

Looks as  E. albidum - probably the  plants  "ran" into the  area where the  dens-canis  label was.   A  danger  with  "travelling"  plants!

I rather think it was the other way around and the label ran into the area where the E. albidum are growing  ;).
They cover at least half a m2 and grow there as long as I can remember, something I can't say about the label. It's also rather shadowy in that spot. Most dens-canis in the rockery seem to prefer a more sunny aspect.
