Hi Hermann I'm happy to see your corydalis season has started. I have to wait for 2 months. Meanwhile I am in India, enjoying all the pictures posted here.

Thank you Kris and enjoy your trip in India. Here the sun is shining more and the soil can dry a bit, after the heavy rain.

Very nice corydalis, Herman! I tried Corydalis marshalliana several times without success - only recently I learnt that it´s a favourite of slugs. That will be the reason for my losses. I didn´t imagine slugs might harm corydalis, as I never noticed any damage on related C. cava, nor solida.

What species is ´Boyar´? This is C. kusnetzovii x solida ´Othello´, my C. caucasica ´Borodino´is of similar colouring.

Mariette, Boyar is a sterile cross: C. kusnetzovii x C. decipiens made by Leonid Bondarenko!

Thank You, Herman! Yet another very interesting hybrid!

Mariette, it came from Nijssen: https://www.nijssentuin.nl/

'Boyar' is the darkest of my Corydalis hybrids. I'm trying to think how it differs from C.caucasica 'Borodino', which I also have, but can't say now how, except it is different. 'Borodino' seedlings are similar to the mother plant, and it is also a nice Corydalis. Maybe not as floriferous as 'Boyar'. I have to say I love all Corydalis.

Thank You, Herman! I frequently ordered there and will watch out for this one next time!

Leena, thank You for Your comparison! Obviously, I´ll have to have them all!  If it were not for the rodents!

[Leena]

Mariette, rodents are a pest here also. I haven't noticed slug damage, but mostly here they are not so active when our temperatures are not so high. There are many times still night frosts when Corydalis flower here at the end of April. Something good about cold weather.

Here are pictures of my plants from last spring.
Corydalis 'Boyar'.

Lena,

The 'Boradino is outstanding!

Very nice to see the first Corydalis of the year in flower.
If not for a winter returned this past week, more would have been in flower also in ON.

The cold wave has ended today, after a -11C night with almost no snow, I found the patch with C/ kuznetovii hybrids in flower! I had a blanket placed in the area to protect few peony buds.
