Corydalis 2010

[Janis Ruksans]

Few corydalis solida cultivars from my garden, but as first Corydalis ornata from Far East (Siberia) in all its variability - as I'm writing in BURIED TREASURES - it resembles stormy see with all shades of blue, lilac and white foam on top of vawes.

You have some fantastic solida-cultivars, Janis!

The "aff. repens" is flowering, quite an unusual pale turquoise with a darker midvein. Also below; 'Frodo'.

[arisaema]

...and some foliage pictures. 'Eric the Red' is easily recognizable, the rest are Chinese.

[Lesley Cox]

The foliage of 'Eric the Red' is beautiful. What is the flower like?

[arisaema]

Like this; it's a turtschaninovii-seedling if I remember correctly

[Lesley Cox]

That is really gorgeous!

[arisaema]

...and they've finally started

Pics 1 and 2 is an unidentified Chinese, and one of my favourites.
Pics 3 and 4 are C. ornata, showing some variation from seeds.
Pic 5 is labelled as being Chinese, but I suspect it's a weed.
Pic 6 is C. cava (or used to be?)
Pic 7 and 8 is another Chinese species.

[Lesley Cox]

Why do you think pic No. 5 may be a weed? Is it seeding around badly? It looks very nice, to me.

[arisaema]

It looks like C. solida, a European species, so it must be a stray seedling. They do seed around badly, I don't mind the "Penzas" doing it, but the plain species is sort of muddy coloured and best left to invade the lawn... The blue ones reseed as well, but not as bad.

Some of the earliest (in my place) Corydalis:
Whitish 'Penza', I think these are all the same clone but they also seed themselves and seem to come true
Corydalis malkensis is a very nice small one with larger liops. I seems not to be self sterile
'Rosalie' from Janis of course.
Unnamed big blue seedling. perhaps offspring of 'Blue Gigant'
The blue comes out bluer than life. It is more grey.
A bird?? had the buds of several including my nice 'Frodo' 
Cheers

I can never see too many of these lovely plants. Thank you everyone.

Among all these austere Corydali, here's a common one (a weed ), Corydalis lutea, but a single plant that cropped up having orange centers.  Is this a normal variant, or do I have a new color form of this seed-everywhere-in-the-garden Corydalis?

[Regelian]

Wow, Mark, that's really cool!  I've never seen this weed in such a party dress.  Save some seed for me!

Well Jamie, if this orange-centered form holds true to C. lutea's intentions to seed itself over the entire globe, I should indeed get seed
