Hello Tatsuo, never have I seen so beautifull forms

Wim and Tatsuo THANK YOU for fantastic pictures and instructive information so I/we can see the diffrent between pinnatifida and byunsanensis.

I agree ! Thanks guys ....

I'm always happy when the first flowers of Eranthis budding. They are so very beautiful as they come up from the bare earth ....

This is my Eranthis longistipitata. Hopefully it will flower next year

Thank you all

So called Eranthis byunsanensis flowers fully opened today. But their stems too short

Waouh Tatsuo  !!!

Very nice, Tatsuo. Even if they are a bit short to the ground  Did something halt them in their development? Colder temperatures....??

I see there are a couple of seedlings too!

Hello Poul, beautifull plants, how do you cultivate the Eranthis sp.?

Thank you Gert, but hopefully E. Pinnatifida will look much better in  a couple of weeks. The weather forecast says frost and a little snow for the next weeks so  they will be on stand by for some time.
I grow pinnatifida in a rather moist woodland bed where there are full sun in the winter and some shadows in the summer.
E. Hyemalis grows like weed in all part of my garden, both in acidic and alkaline soil.
E. Cilicica likes a drier site and prefers a more alkaline soil. E. Logistipitata likes a well drained and slightly dry soil.

I'm not sure, Wim Probably its pot size did I think... Only 3 poted E. byunsanensis show same appearance which are grown in the smallest sized pot and others in the larger ones are looks normal (not yet flowering). Smaller pots conducts temperature more directly to underground parts of plants than larger ones.

E. pinnatifida prefers very moist soil condition that is far more than I had imagined, Poul. Last season I got an "in the green" plant and its root was wrapped sloppily with sphagnum. I worried disturbing its root again when transplanting so left it in a pot with the sphagnum and watered regularly. This season the plant looks healthy and puts more flowers than last season, as you can see in the second pic of my post.

Tatsuo, is the sphagnum you used living sphagnum moss? Your potting mixture looks suitable for growing Pleione. Do you know if E. pinnatifida grows in the same places as Pleione in the wild?
My pinnatifida bed is flowded with melting water each spring when the snow melts so at that time it is very moist. But the soil is fast draining so there is no standing water except when the soil is frozen.

Thanks Poul. The sphagnum is dried and unfortunately I've never grown any pleione species until now. E. pinnatifida usually grows under deciduous woods at north facing slope in the wild.

Two different 'pinkish reverse' Eranthis pinnatifida plants One from Hiroshima (I posted last year) and the other from Okayama.
