Eranthis hyemalis `Schwefelglanz` is very interess in his colour,
on first day a little orange-rose in the flower, ;D
later in pale yellow. >:(
a further form, Eranthis hyemalis `Flore Plena`; ok, is more semi-plena and set some seeds

Did we not have a new topic on Eranthis just a few days ago?
Only this, I think....

Very nice Eranthis, Udo  :)
Now I really look forward to see my `Schwefelglanz'  open. I planted it last year and it is now in bud.

Thank you, Hans, I missed that, being in another section! I have now merged the two here in the general bulbs section.  :)

As to what a burn feed is, I have NO idea!!  :-\ :-[


It's when dinner is burnt but there's nothing else to eat in the house so you HAVE to feed on the burnt stuff. It NEVER happens here. ;D

We have had an unusual hard winter in Denmark. The temperature had been below zero for almost three months. I recorded -19C as the minimum temperature in my garden. But luckily the ground has been covered by snow from Dec. 15Th to well into march.

As the snow melted two weeks ago I was exited to see that my Eranthis pinnatifida has survived the winter.
My next worry was all the melting water. Could it handle that?
Here two weeks later it seems so, but I had too admit that it could have looked prettier.

I agree with Gunilla - your Eranthis pinnatifida is pretty as a picture Poul  :)

I was just admiring the eranthis on another thread.  Good to see it survived the wetting.  Your soil looks quite heavy??

Gunilla and Robin:
Thanks for the nice words. The flowers are quite OK, but the foliage is somewhat damaged.
I hope they set seeds this year and as there are very few insects I pollinate them daily with a paintbrush.

Gail:
The soil is in fact quite sandy with lots of humus and normally the drainage is good. But on the first pic the ground was frozen except for the upper 2 cm.

Poul,

we've had an extreme winter in Cologne, as well.  Lots didn't make it through.  I simply love your E. pinnatifida.  Hope it sets seed.  If it is half as easy as E. hyemalis, you should have a field of it in a few years.

Jamie,

I am afraid that E. pinnatifida is not that easy. This plant is 5 years old and have only set seed one time. Unfortunately none of the 3 (!) seeds germinated. This year I hope I have more luck. My plan is to pollinate with a paint brush and to cover the plant during freezing nights to maximize the chance of good seed setting.
My dream is to have a 'field' of E. pinnatifida like I have of hyemalis.
