Wim;I think Aaron is calling your orange Polygonatum P. huanense. It's (annoyingly) too tender here, or at least it died this last winter. Lovely plant!

I've been waiting more than 20 and STILL no flower!Well worth waiting for, Lesley, I hope it will bloom for you. Ours is clearly a different variety than Ariseama's, we got the seed as Clematis hirsutissima var. hirsutissima. It first bloomed after 6-8 years, and since then offers its single flower each year, early June, normally. A highlight of my gardening year. It is in bud now, but I have included a picture from last year.

Thanks, Wim! I'll ask you as soon as the normal winters return, I'm eagerly awaiting the much promised "global warming"...

My seeds came from From The Forest in Idaho, so were presumably collected there or in Washington?
Lesley; Speaking of slow plants, do you still grow Ranunculus semiverticillatus?Is the Epimedium hardy for you, or do you move it into the greenhouse over winter?
We've talked about this plant before, but now I have something to show--Planted in a gallon pot from a piece of root-thanks Stephenb!- late last fall.. so it has survived one winter, and looking great!Taraxacum 'faroense' which is presumably T rubifolium..Its only maybe 3 inches across, most of these leaves are new this spring, and it seems to have a bud coming, we'll see..I'd rather it didn't have regular dandelion colour flowers--it does--but the foliage makes it worthwhile... I wonder if it will stay this dark all year? Hope so....Anyone know what sort of moisture this sp likes? Faroes look pretty wet to me....
