Guff, your dark-eyed seedling is spectacular.  Is it from your own seed?  Do you have any idea of the parentage?

Diane , thanks. It's darker purple/black in person, than the  picture shows. Was very happy to finally see a flower from a cross I did.

I'm thinking Hendersonii x Revolutum or Oregonum or maybe White Beauty. Those are the only crosses I could have made at the time. Hendersonii was/is always the first to open here, so I would save the pollen and put into a cup to pollinate flowers as they opened.

Most don't grow well here. I lost my three Hendersonii plants that I have had for 10+ years  or so. Flowered every year with 3 plus flowers each, until last Spring. Lost two plants, then the last plant didn't show this Spring. Oregonum seems to be very happy here, clump gets bigger each year. White Beauty doesn't do well either. Suppose it could be my soil mix, they are planted in pure leaf compost. Probably dries out too much.

I've made a couple of crosses using hendersonii this year.  I didn't get much pollen to use as a deer munched most of the flowers, but fortunately left a couple of buds.

Mystery seedling, suppose it could be Erythronium citrinum?

Seedlings offer a delightful surprise when flowering for the first time. 
Gabriela it must be great to walk through areas of naturally occurring ftits in the wild. Such an intense yellow, fields of daffodils?

Possibly an E. helenae  x E. californicum   hybrid.

I'm slowly getting a hang of where to plant Erythroniums, though in Ian's and Maggi's garden they grow everywhere!
