[Janis Ruksans]

I didn't find special Eranthis topic (only for white ones) but here started blooming yellows.

Wonderful, Janis. Is 'Aurantiaca' the same as 'Orange Glow' and 'Copenhagen Orange'?

[Jan]

Janis really nice.

Eranthis longistipitata

I know next to nothing about Eranthis so this may be an ignorant question but am I correct in thinking this is a semi-double?  If so, is it of any interest?  AFAIK it is a standard hyemalis, although for some reason in an area that is flowering much later than the others in the woodland where I saw it

[WimB]

Alan, semi-double indeed. Some of the petals, which normally grow in funnelform, have the form of the sepals.

I know there are some semi-doubles going around but I haven't seen any of those yet.

I don't think so. My comes under this name from Gothenburg BG.

I not remember where I got mine (it isn't my top favourite) but I trust my source. Can't check in Greece.

Mark,
I found my collection list on laptop. Mine came from Dirk, so it 100% is true!

This poor Eranthis hyemalis was obviously trying to flower before the snow even melted this year and the bees found it soon after.

Mark, Eranthis hyemalis 'Schwefelglanz' is in the first days apricot, later pale yellow.

Do any of these colour forms come true from seed? I have some young plants ex a seedex offering of Schwefelglanz, but not flowering size yet.
I grew E. pinnatifida for a couple of years from seed before it said goodbye. Anyone know of a reasonably priced source of this species? It was £10 a single stemmed flower/bulb at an RHS show earlier this year.

Sorry getting lazy. I could have looked in the Plant Finder.

Brian, the most seedlings from Eranthis hyemalis 'Schwefelglanz' comes true.
