Luc,

Isn't tolumnense brilliant!!?  I find it responds brilliantly to fertiliser too, increasing the number of flowers per head, and the amount of them.  Such a good, reliable Frit.  Your clump looks great. 8)

David,

The getting down isn't a problem.... the getting back UP is the difficulty.  You can always lie down to take pictures.... the problem is needing the paramedics afterwards. ;D ;)

For years I have grown Erythronium 'Pagoda'.
Last autumn I purchased Erythronium 'Kondo' which is from the same hybridisation but has a more distinct brown? area in the centre of the flower.

Does it?

With me at present only Erythronium caucasicum is blooming in greenhouse. Outside E. sibiricum from China came out much too early and its shoots and leaves were seriously frost damaged
