This looks better in reality than in the photos.

I need to move my Erythronium citrinum var roderickii because it keeps getting swamped by Galanthus and other leaves. When is it safe to move Erythroniums?

The only other Erythroniums I grow really well are Harvington Snowgoose and Kinfauns Pink. Both I think need divided - I forgot that no posting of photos for a while

I would like to grow Erythroniums in my new exposed raised bed. It's only just starting to get full sun, when it shines, as the sun rises over the house. Would this be suitable.

This bed will be a mixed bulb and annuals bed. Definitely no perennials but still toying with the notion of planting my, close yer ears Lesley, Sorbus cashmiriana in it. I havent found or seen anything else I want in the middle of off centre

Thanks Roland

[bulborum]

Plant them as soon as possible again
or keep them in a plastic bag with moisture (not wet) vermiculite in the fridge (+4ºC)
Don't let them dry in

As you know Dave, I'm a bit restricted in the positions I can get into since they sliced me open.
I can still get down there though (provided MrsG is around to help me up again)

[Susan Band]

Udo, your Erythroniums are looking great. It has not been a great year for them here this year. It was so hot early on a lot of them tried to flower at ground level or low down those flowering later were battered by hailstones and frost. Plants are doing well but disappointing flowering.
Yours look ideal especially the E. hendersonii, are they all the same clone?

[udo]

Yes Susan, this Erythronium hendersonii is one clone.
Grown from one bulb in over ten years.

[Maggi Young]

Never known E. hendersonii to increase so well, Dirk, well done!
