Erythronium 2021

When the late & great plantsman Alleyne Cook of N. Vancouver BC announced he had mailed a special selection for us we braced ourselves for its arrival.  One such plant was an Erythronium revolutum he thought special.  We agreed. He had the eye.  It seeds about and is one of our treasures.

John, indeed a real treasure, beautiful color of the flower and the leaves!

Herman - Thanks, it is a beauty.  To my horror I see the original slides say E. revoltum!  john

Erythronium dens-canis moerheimii. This year with 3 flowers. Usually one, if any

'Joanna' from Tristan is flowering well, and so pretty! Thank you!
The next two are grown from seed ex seeds and flowering now for the first time, I am thrilled with them.
The first one was sown in 2014 and labeled E.oregonum x citrinum
The second one was from 2016 and is either E.oregonum or E.oregonum leucandrum, it is my mixup.
It is a creamy yellow colour, and a bit smaller than the first one.

Leena, white anthers means that it is Erythronium oregonum ssp leucandrum.

Thanks Herman  . It is a very pretty Erythronium, and as I don't have many of them yet, I'm so pleased with these. Hopefully I get fresh seeds from it and will have more in time.

My Erythronium revolutum did very poorly this year.  A hard frost at the wrong time damaged the flower stems which bent over and the flowers aborted.  A few which were not so far on did flower but I think the very dry weather earlier stunted their growth.

Flowering well now is Erythronium Kinfauns Pink'
