Another great log & beautiful trilliums Ian; thank you.For me a benefit of this lockdown has been more garden time, and a chance to plant out batches of seedlings before the new roots develop. My only clump deserving of the name was a poor old T. grandiflorum too long in a pot, but it separated readily into quite a few nice divisions that are in the ground at last. However the variability of seedlings is more interesting and, as you show so clearly, allows adaptation to local conditions with successive generations & self-seeding.Would you advise division of hacquetia now or later?
Ian,Another most enjoyable bulblog, thank you.I have spent much of the lockdown trying to remove as much celandine from a large woodland bed - although I love them, sometimes things get a bit out of control and I decided that enough was enough. Your ficaria verna pale form - how do you control it? Does it set seed with the more usual bright yellow flowers? I have found a couple of very pale ones in the garden and potted them up. I have not decided what to do with them yet - I don't want to unleash yet another invasive terror into the garden! How long have you been growing the pale form?
Thank you Carolyn, the pale Ficaria is much better behaved than the typical yellow form it stays in clumps and does not spread out very quickly. The area I showed is after around 15years.
