The Corydalis are underway here; Corydalis popovii in a pink spurred form is the first for me this year

C. popovii is very easy from seed and very long-lived if allowed to dry thoroughly in the dormant period. Mine has not set seed but it may be available from the Czech collectors.

Not this plant, but I have others from seed. If you want to grow Corydalis from seed it is important to get fresh seed. old seed germinates very badly.

Definitely could be the problem for me.  I've tried seed from exchanges years ago and no germination.   :(

Thank you Lesley.  I'll check into this suggestion.

Thank you Peter - I will put a note on my calendar to check back with you.

If you'd like something in trade, I plan to collect seed like mad this year.   ;D

Some more: C. sewerzowii and something sent to me as 'sp. Afghanistan' about 9 years ago. Can anybody shed light on its identity?

Alex,

Your unknown corydalis is very pretty.  However, your sewerzowii is awesome, such gorgeous blue leaves!  :o

Glad it is doing well Arthur. The picture I took, today, of my plant is badly over exposed. I prefer pre digital photography but I am on a learning curve now...
Corydalis aitchisonii is flowering here now, also popovii forms and maracandica. I seem to have a number of maracandica and ?ledebouriana seedlings flowering in the sand too...
