Eranthis 2011

[Janis Ruksans]

I have a small patch of Eranthis semiplena, I do not know what kind it is. There are no other Eranthis nearby. All new plants so far is semiplena.
 So I guess you could say that the seed is stable.

It is Eranthis hyemalis cv. - I think that correct name Flore Plena - flowers are semidouble and sometimes fertile - gives some seeds.

Thanks for the reply. Then I know what to write on the label.
 I got my plant from an old man for about 25 years ago. The man is long gone, so I can't ask him where it came from.
 Some years it will be some seeds, some years very little.

finally, my first flower from Eranthis longistipitata

This weather is too warm for my Eranthis. Everybody is talking about it. The Eranthis are going over in days.

Eranthis hyemalis 'Grünling' - interesting rather than pretty, I think....

[mark smyth]

Is your plant going over? Here is one I saw in England a year or two back.

[mark smyth]

Did you buy Grunling in the UK?

[Gail]

Is your plant going over?

It has been open a week or so - I not been out with the camera much.

It came from Pottertons (I ordered one from Avon Bulbs first but that turned out to be Schwelfelglanz).

[mark smyth]

Did Alan change it for you?

[Gail]

I didn't ask him to - Schwelfelglanz is nice too, a soft straw yellow.

Dirk, how long did it take for your eranthis to flower from seed?

[YT]

Shibateranthis pinnatifida pure white flower form, found in a popuration grown under deciduous woods at Soryo, Shobara, Hiroshima, Japan.

Tatsuo,

Wow!!  That is gorgeous.  Now you just need to set seed on it, grow them on, and start selling them to people here on the forums.  You could finance your plant habit I think?

Anne, sorry for the late reply. 4 years for the first flower.

Tatsuo - that is a lovely flower.
