Bulb Log 23-10 June 2009

[Maggi Young]

I take it you could cope with some more pix?  Have we got a Corydalis thread  

Any number of Corydalis threads, Diane, mainly in the Seeds section and Bulbs...... you could start one in the Flowering Now for these non-tuberous kind   ...... or just add them here where we have talked about them 

[Diane Clement]

OK, I'll add them here, it's easier.  Interesting how the slide scans have come out.  
The first shot shows where they were taken, at Crag Crest in the Grand Mesa National Park in West Colorado during the post conference tour in 2003.  The area is about 10 - 11,000ft high. That's Colorado -  a long way from the sea.  There were too many mosquitos for my liking which meant you couldn't stand around for long.    

The pics are all Corydalis caseana ssp brandegei and its habitat.

Interesting to see that they are growing right from the trees to the rocks.
Your scans have come out well, Diane.
I do like the markings on the flowers and the way the flowers are held above thatmass of soft foliage.

Great pictures Diane, good to see the Corydalis in its habitat.
