In 2009 I reported we had only 3% germination on E. revolutum.  We tried again that autumn with more fresh seed from a Vancouver garden with species and hybrids and have done a little better.   :D  johnw

What does 100% germination look like John? :o :o :o

Art - Then we check the drainage holes.  ;)

John, I reread your above post.

So there are only two different forms in the pictures? If so I would say the pink is Rose Queen and the other is Snowflake. I'm only guessing though, I have both but they haven't flowered for me yet.

Janis, nice pictures.
Here some from me:
Ery.elegans
     helenae
     'Joanna'
     'Kinfauns Pink'
     'Pink Beauty'
     'Sundisc'

Udo - I enjoy seeing and very envious of your well-spaced and orderly plantings, I was even counting the Erythronium rows in your previous photo of 2 April.  Lovely collection.  Do you run an Erythronium nursery?

Yes only two are shown and I hadn't considered the first might be Snowflake as it's not exactly white.  Now that you mention it Rose Queen rings a bell, I think possibly someone i.d.'ed it as such in 2009. I will photo the interior and check for spots.

I meant to mention White Beauty is just poking up a few inches/cms. here.  I will check the tolumenses tomorrow.

Love your E. Snowgeese Mark. Are you sure they're not E. 'Canada Geese'    - I mean 9 in a pot, really?

In the book Bulbs of North America it's spelled Franz Hals and says light reddish violet. Whether mine is the real one or not,no clue.

Dirk wondering about your rows of Lilac Wonder. How many years did it take to have that many and how many did you start off with?

Guff - a very nice photo of a very attractive flower. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over its precise identity which is probably impossible to determine anyhow. 
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

Guff, this Erythronium 'Lilac Wonder' is planted in 2009. I replanted my cultivars
from dens-canis every two years. I started with 10 bulbs in around 1995.
Erythronium 'Pagoda' set by me some seeds.

Where is the drooling thingy when you need it - absolutely stunning Erythronium. 

The Craigton Cover Girl I was given last October had two flower stems and appears to have set seed - thanks Ian & Maggi
