, such as one grown by Todd Boland on Nova Scotia:

Tut-tut Mark!  Why does everyone want us on an island?

BTW Todd is on the rock (Newfoundland), in St. John's.

I stand corrected.

I guess we were an island for a bit during the famous Saxby Gale in 1869.   Many here dream of NS as an island and being pulled 150 miles farther south to the Gulf Stream. Any heavy movers down that way?

With all of these many yummy Cordalis, it is almost too much to take in   They're all so lovely.  Janis, Corydalis triternata has such bright orange stems, could it be one of the parents of 'Cosmic Rainbow' you showed earlier?

May I take you order?  Yes, I'd like one large coffee and cream corydalis, with sugar please

I dont know. It appeared as accidental seedling out of pots in Gothenburg Botanic Garden and was noted and marked by Henrik Zetterlund. But it is very possible as between my triternata seddlings one specimen is similar to Cosmic Rainbow but not so excellent as Henrik's plant, so I planted it out of collection under shrubs on roadside.

Corydalis macrocentra still going strong - I love the continuous flowering of this species.

Horray! Thank you 
I was growing this (or something very similar) and liost it in a bad winter
I had received it mis-named so I could not replace it.
Now I can.

Can anyone help me identify this tiny Chinese species, could it be C. repens?

It isn't repens. See my entries on p. 5 and 6 in this topic. C. repens has white spotted leaves!

C. repens has white spotted leaves!

Are you sure that's always true for the Chinese plants as well? See the pictures below from Heilongjiang, borrowed from page 43 of this book. That said the flower colour seems a bit off, so I would be happy for other suggestions of what it might be

I used several Russian Floras for plants of Far East and everywhere just those spots are listed as important feature, but of course, thaere can be variability in Chinese plants, leaves looks similar, but foliage dividing in Corydalis is so wide... Tomorrow will show pictures on another sp. from Far East - fumariifolia - there are specimens with same shape of leaves, with very neerow and long leaf lobes etc. I think that in Corydalis monograph this feature (spotted leaves) is mentioned, too (can't check at present).
