Corydalis 2010

[Gerhard Raschun]

The first `bulb-belt` Corydalis species are in flower. More will follow...

I`m surprised about size of the C- popovii-flowers.

beautiful flowers and photos!
these are flowering outdoors already?

Superb plants and truly botanically useful photographs Gerd, a great start to Corydalis 2010.

Only the woodlanders are growing in the shadow part of my garden. All these species are growing in a coldhouse in pots (13cm).

I don`t like to see pots on the picts, so it is difficult to make good picts of small species like C. henrikii.

more picts will follow the next days.....

very nice to have an early start on the season its a fascinating genus, one i will be searching for--so far i have the native C aurea selfsown...

A couple of corydalis which have started to flower now

Corydalis solida from Goktepe in Turkey
Corydalis parnassica from Mt Olympus in Greece

[Oron Peri]

Tony
Both are beautiful species and have a nice compat growth, do you grow them in full sun?

[Tony Willis]

Oron they grow with afternoon sun, that greenhouse they are in is partly shaded until lunchtime at this time of year.

[Oron Peri]

Thanks

[Lesley Cox]

Thay are both very fine, and compact in the flower stem. Lovely plants.

[gote]

Both very nice looking. Have you tried in the open?
I still have 75cm of snow over mine.

I have a lot of solida growing in the garden no problem. I keep my plants of known provenance in pots for safety otherwise with the blackbirds and my wife's weeding a label is soon tossed aside and the identity lost.

Flowering here now in the rock garden and slowly bulking up- Corydalis henrikii

Corydalis are -indeed- wonderful plants!
I think that everyone who has bought Liden/Zetterlunds book "Corydalis" has admired the wonderful photos inside.
The cover alone is an artwork of it's own with the wonderful Corydalis ornata "Blue Lip" in the upper left corner!
However - my absolute favorite Corydalis is the blue/white bicolored Corydalis ussuriensis. Unfortunately only one plant is currently in cultivation at the Botanical Garden Gothenburgh. This has never set seeds or multiplied vegetatively and it has -sadly- never been accessible to the public. There are still waiting some precious little things for their introduction......

Some of them are self sterile  so we need to introduce at least two plants of a new corydalis.
