Colour forms Corydalis solida

[Natalia]

Thank you!
 I have a small garden ants, but it may be ...
 I will continue to monitor.

Don't you have this creature in or near your garden?

No, such at us only in forest. I considered, what exactly they do apertures in flowers Corydalis.

In a garden ants much less, I assume that it can be: Lasius niger, Lasius fuliginosus and Lasius flavus.

It is a little about destiny of the selected forms and seeds.

On a photo group Corydalis solida in a garden of my girlfriend. Some years ago I have given to it some small tubers. This posterity of one of them.

This is very fine, Natalia. I have one white and it is not that exiting colour..

[Natalia]

Trond,very iinteresting - purely white in dissolution and greenish in buds. I have found the similar form in last year. But completely colouring will seem next years.

 On my photo colouring not white, a tube lilac, and only lips white. Though in the first flowering this form had white flowers easy blueness.

Yes, Natalia, they are very pretty!

These are really beautiful Janis. I especially like the deep red in the first group.

Thanks Lesley!
Few more - named last season. All pure solidas but 'Hocus Pocus' - hybrid with paczoskii from Crimea.

I think some ants can make very long cuts in leaves so why not in pods?
But other animals including birds are possible.

I didn't observe black small ants cutting Corydalis seedpods, but they cuts unripe Crocus seedpods seriously reducing crop. On Corydalis they bring away seeds on far distances. I saw that on Corydalis nobilis and C. cava complex, planted near paved road - an army of ants brings away all Corydalis seeds. So now I'm applying anti-ant chemicals (Detia) everywhere in my nursery.

Well, I let the ants take away the seeds! They do not eat the seeds but the elaiosomes that are attached and then discard the seeds. Sometimes the seeds also produce pheromones for a short while that the ants like and the seeds are of no interest when they dry up. Seems that the seeds like to grow where the ants discard them.

But Janis, I have to collect a very long time to get your range of nobilis cvs complete! They are all awesome!
