A quite fresh one from end of May compared with beginning of August.
Such growth is just average with these islands. (Two and a half month).

I think you'd be better with deeper pots- at least 13cm deep, for young erythronium and galanthus. Deeper the better. There are various threads on plastic pots in the form, though some are quite old! Try the likes of https://www.lbsbuyersguide.co.uk/%E2%80%8E

 Here is another view of the logging deck and the stunted conifers that are now growing at this site. As storm clouds started to build late in the day I started back to the trailhead.  This is one last view of a meadow before I returned to my auto and Sacramento.

 This area was logged in a very destructive and exploitive way back in the late 1970’s. My brother and I hiked through the area after it had been logged. The area was a disaster with very few remaining trees. Pictured is part of a logging deck, which dates back to this time period. After more than 40 years parts of this logging deck are still devoid of plant life.  A few stunted trees can be seen growing in the background.  This seasonal seep was at one time contaminated with lethal levels of toxic ionic species of iron and manganese, which inhibited the growth of plant life. Highly compacted soil, seasonally flooded, anaerobic, and highly acidic soil conditions were created by the activity of heavy equipment and the extreme concentration of conifer bark at this logging deck. These and other factors contributed greatly to the toxicity of this site.  Iron oxides remain where the seasonal water seepage flows.  Slowly conditions have improved at this site. Severely stunted conifers now grow over much of the site, however there are still areas where there is no plant growth.
