Ian,
I saw a large planting of Craigton Blue in Threave Gardens yesterday.  You're famous !!!!!

Great news Tom, it is such a good feeling to know that Corydalis 'Craigton Blue' is spreading and being appreciated around the world.
I get so much out of the plant world it is nice to be able to put something back in.

Tom, it IS exciting, isn't it? Sandy told me that the plantings of Corydalis 'Craigton Blue' in Gothenburg Botanic Garden are looking better than ever....... it is really grand to fell that thisplant is getting around so well and providing colour and fragrance to so many gardens

We have one seedling from the same cross commercially available in NZ but it is nothing like that brilliant, intense blue of 'Craigton Blue,' a real beauty.

Slowly started to work on catching up on some of the bulblogs I haven't read in the last few months.  Had to comment on a couple of things in this one.....

Love that Corydalis!!  Beautiful!  I hope it makes it here one day.

The Arisaema species you haven't managed to identify is one of the A. fargesii, bogneri, franchetianum alliance (depending who you talk to they are all part of the same species).  I think one of the differences is the flaring on the edge of the mouth of the spathe, but I don't know how variable that is from species to species.  Thought it was worthwhile mentioning it as it might help you track down a name.  As a good clump like that it is even more of a stunner!!  Beautiful!!
