Erythronium 2021

[Maggi Young]

That's pretty impressive Maggi. I was thinking I hadn't seen that part of the garden in the Bulblog before...

E. sajanense is a new one on me, is it newly described?

If only we had land like that, Tristan!  Ian would be ecstatic!  The species was described in  2011 :
Erythronium sajanense Stepanov & Stassova, Vestn. Krasnoyarsk. Gosud. Agrar. Univ. 8: 60 (2011), the same year as  Erythronium krylovii Stepanov, Vestn. Krasnoyarsk. Gosud. Agrar. Univ. 8: 62 (2011).

Erythronium dens-canis surprised me with a bloom.  It is unpredictable in my garden.

[Claire Cockcroft]

Erythronium americanum outdid itself this year.

[Claire Cockcroft]

Erythronium albidum spreads a little farther each year.

[Claire Cockcroft]

My tags are confused, and so am I.  I'm not sure if this is Erythronium citrinum, californicum, or some other.  Regardless, the foliage and flowers are nice.

[Claire Cockcroft]

I think this is Erythronium californicum.

Erythronium hendersonii



This one came as E. hendersonii hybrid from Pitcairn. It seems very similar to the species except that it bulks up a bit.

[Tristan_He]

Emerging leaves of (I think) E. californicum.



Nice marbling in this hybrid too. Erythronium leaves tend to get overlooked a bit because of the beauty of the flowers, but the best ones are exceptional.

It is not easy to ID a plant from a picture but from the parts of the flower I can see I would favour this being E. citrinum although I cannot rule out californicum.

[Claire Cockcroft]

Thanks for looking, Ian.  I took another photo, looking up into the open flowers.  Maybe this will be definitive?  If not, it's still a lovely plant.

Erythronium revolutum. This is a good deep colour form that was sent to me by a friend in the US many years ago. Unfortunately something ate through the main clump a couple of years ago (I suspect a vole), but I had seedlings coming on and it has also self-seeded quite freely. These are in too sunny a location really, the flowers don't last long. I have donated seed of this to the Exchange as var. Johnsonii for a number of years.

Our Erythronium revolutum grow in wet areas along streams.
