Eranthis 2010

[Janis Ruksans]

I have little experience with Eranthis pinnatifida. My attempt to grow it outside failed in two years. After that I long searched for it, finally got from several sources few years ago. On picture plants got from late Kath Dryden, one of most marvellous grower met by me.
Far better with me is growing Eranthis stellata from Siberia, very difficult to replant, but well set seeds (without hand pollinating, must be sawn on day or one after harvesting) and blooms abbondantly.
On last picture Eranthis hyemalis Aurantiaca (on right corner Schwefelglanz flowers).

Bad news about the hardness of my Eranthis pinnatifida. I was wondering the other day why the flowers were not developing properly, gave the stalk a tug and it came away, the bulb was rotten underneath.

Sorry to hear about your E. pinnatifida Susan.

Janis, thank you so much for posting those wonderful pictures.  The sheets of E. cilicica in the wild are just stunning and the E. stellata especially will I think, be something for us all to dream about!

I love these shots of Eranthis cilicica in the wild and I'm interested that they grow much more like a crocus meadow in their chosen habitat.  In the garden or in between rocks they seem to grow more as a clump.

At last (most of the) snow in the town garden is gone.

In 2008, Geir Moen in Norway wrote about his pink eranthis.

That is really beautiful with the little stem holding the flower above the leafy ruff. Thanks for the picture Janis.
