The first of my corydalis flowering
Corydalis parnassica from Greece Mt Olympus
-
Tony
How did you mange to keep it so low growing? I thought your Northern lighting was poor and they would stretch upwards to find something better :)
From the Crocus in your greenhouse I would say you have been having your year's sun in February - not a lot to look forward too ;) 8) ;)

Arthur
it always grows out sideways and only elongates in seed.
It has not rained for three days now and we have had sun on each of those. I thought I would have to start watering and put the shading on but we are back to normal by Wednesday!

Corydalis solida from Turkey Goktepe
Afraid that it is not solida. Can't tell more by picture.

Yes it is from the bulb and foliage but off course it may have been split of into some other species.
-
Here are a couple today - aitchisonii (sorry for Calochortus leaf in the way! Hard to move things around in a plunge) and nudicaulis.

Corydalis schanginii looking nice and compact at present.
-
Corydalis paczoskii.
pink form

Corydalis popovii in my bulb bed.

I'm often asked about Corydalis cultivars - how they look? From today you can watch all corydalis but one offered by me on my website. http://rarebulbs.lv - it opens on Internet Explorer, but still not on Google search (I don't know - why). There you can find all my catalogue and 99% of items have pictures attached. There is GARDEN NEWS topic where you can print your questions and I will try to reply as soon as possible as I will inform about news from my garden and collection. Arriving of young generation gives me more time and more advanced technologies.

One of a small collection of Corydalis I'm gradually building up Corydalis cava. I have them dotted around the garden but am beginning to wish I had planted them all in the same bed as Chris Boulby has done.
-
Here's Corydalis aitchisonii in the plunge today, and below it a self-seeded C. macrocentra growing in the sand with a plunge seedling of Fritillaria liliacea coming through it!
Alex
-
Forgot the aitchisonii.
-
Corydalis fumariifolia
-
Is anyone willing to have a go at telling me which Corydalis this is please. I have had it for some years and probably bought it at a garden centre.

I think it' is Corydalis solidarity.
-
He means Corydalis solida , David !
He's cursing the spell check on his ipad, which steadfastly ignores whatever he tells it :( ;D

Many thanks Maggi.

Outside Corydalis only show some noses out of soil. There are several losses from rodents - both in Corydalis and Crocus.
In greenhouse continue blooming - two pictures with Penza strain seedlings and
cv. 'Rivendell'
-
Hello,
C. schanginii ssp. ainiae in flower. Much better outside than with the protection of a bulb frame!
-
Corydalis 'Boyar ' . Difficult to get the right colour on the picture .....It is darker in reality .....

Kris, your Corydalis 'Boyar' looks very good.
Here some others from my garden:
Corydalis malkensis
'' marshalliana, yellow form
'' 'Apricot Queen'
'' solida 'Red Giant'; advantageus, this form set only very few seeds

Thanks Martin and Dirk . I like that 'Apricot Queen' to !
-
Dirk, Red Giant is superb, and Apricot Queen is lovely too. Will you be sending out your email list soon? I hope I'm still on your mailing list.

Martin, my next list appears in spring 2014.

I colected these plants on the mountains behind Markaska, Croatia. Is this Corydalis solida ssp. incisia?
-
Two weeks ago (April 14th) I visited the garden of Brian Whitton, who holds a national collection of Corydalis. I have just got round to sorting out some of the pictures I took, and thought they might be of interest.
1st set:
C. ussurensis
C.sewerzovii
C.popovii
C.aitchinsonii
C.fumariifolia
-
Second set
C. kusnetzovii x C.solida
C. solida decipiens
C. cava
C. cava purpureolilacina
-
I have to be honest, there wasn't any reason for my choice of plants other than what i liked the look of best - generally what was flowering best.
The rest are all forms of Corydalis solida.
Evening Dream
Firecracker
Snowstorm
Conquest
Blue Pearl
-
Final set of Corydalis solida
Galam
Frodo
Forest Elf
Rivendell
-

That seems like a perfectly good reason for your choice, Peter 8) Thanks for this wee tour of Brian's plants.

Corydalis cava 'Alba' is in bud now. Does it look right?
I was only wondering, because my purple normal C.cava (bought from Janis Ruksans four years ago) has not come up, and it is always very late here, and this white/yellowish form is so much earlier. They are not growing in the same bed, so that could be it, of course.
The first C.solidas are opening their first flowers here now.

Plant looks correct.
With me white is out, purple only showed noses on S faced slope.
-
Thank you :).
The purple C.cava is so late, that every year I am sure it had died, and then it comes up. :)
-
Some Corydalis from today.
C.cava 'Alba' is now open.
My favourite Corydalis solida 'Evening Shade', the color is no so spectacular, but it thrives in my garden. I like tall corydalis. :)
Corydalis solida 'Transsylvanica'
Corydalis solida 'Preludie'
Corydalis solida 'Cantata', this was planted last autumn, so it is not very big yet, and not very upright. I have also 'Silmarill' which flowered last year for the first time, and I liked it very much, but this year someone ate it's flower stems, so no flowers this year. :(
-
Corydalis wendelboi 'Abant Wine' is very small, maybe 10cm tall, but the color is really nice, so dark it is difficult to photograph. Leucojum seedlings are crowding it, I will have to do something.
-
All very beautiful Leena, and spring has arrived in Finland. Where are you gardening?

All very beautiful Leena, and spring has arrived in Finland. Where are you gardening?
Thank you :) Corydalis are one of my favourite flowers, I hope they increase well and in a few years I have lots of them.
I live in the south of Finland (the spring was very late this year even in here), my garden is surrounded by woods, and my favourite part of the garden is woodland garden, but I also like peonies very much, especially species and early cultivars.
-
Sorry Leena, I should have asked 'Where in southern Finland are you gardening?' ;D
Helsinki area, east, west, Turku area, Ahvenanmaa or inland?
-
Helsinki area, east, west, Turku area, Ahvenanmaa or inland?
In the halfway from Helsinki to Turku, inland, the biggest city near (about 30km) is Salo :). This is Finnish zone 1b, but actually I think it is 2. I think US zones somewhere around 5.
Sorry about general answer before, I didn't think anyone knew anyplace in Finland, and I thought you didn't notice the signature. :)
-
No I didn't mean to quiz you Leena, but it helps to understand your conditions. Fairly moderated by the sea then, rather than more continental as in the east.
-
Yes, you are right, my climate is not so continental than in the eastern part of Finland. The previous four winters have been unusually snowy (and long) for my part of Finland, but the good thing was that the ground was not very much frozen under the snow. Usually we may have only a little snow, or it melts away in January and then the cold comes again, and it may be very hard on plants without snow cover.
I use dry oak leaves to cover my woodland beds in the autumn, just in case there is not enough snow, and the leaves keep the ground getting not frozen so deep.
All Corydalis which I have bought have survived and are doing well, only 'Snow in Spring' disappeared after one year.
-
I grow a few Corydalis originating ex China from Chen Yi. Can somebody help with identification? As they grow here for some years, there is a slight chance, that they are Hybrids.
First plant with an overwintering habit like ellipticarpa:
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
Second plant with nearly identicak flowers, but growth habit like flexuosa. It has markings on its leaves
[attach=3]
Any suggestions are welcome!
-
Started harvesting of greenhouse grown Corydalis. Corydalis magadanica has strange tubers.
In other greenhouse started blooming Chinese C. brunneovaginata with very unusual tuber (?)
-
Are you sure it's C. brunneovaginata? According to the Flora of China that species has rose flowers, this looks a lot like C. ellipticarpa.

I got it from Gothenburg BG, so I think they must know correct name (Magnus Liden, Henrik Zetterlund)

Magnus wrote the flora, so he would obviously know, but part of me still thinks there may have been a label mix-up? If you speak with him then please double-check. The pictures posted by Pauli above actually looks like what I always believed to be C. brunneovaginata, and match the colour given in Flora of China.

Corydalis solidas are now over, but Corydalis vittae is flowering right now, it is quite small corydalis.
Corydalis turtschaninovii 'Blue Gem' has opened yesterday, and it is bigger, very nice. I have had it for three years, and it seems to do ok. :)
-
This is a lovely corydalis flowering now. I got it from cyril with an unconfirmed name of C. adrienii I can't find any reference to it apart from a chinese website but my chinese is not too good ;) It has roots that look like a cross between C. cashmireana and buschii Any confirmation or otherwise would be great.

I have gotten this Corydalis from a friend, and she had bought it as Corydalis elata. I have read that many plants named C.elata are C.omeiensis, so what do you think, is my plant C.elata?
I have the book Bleeding harts, Corydalis and their relatives, and from it I understand that C.elata has flowers all around the stem and C.omeiensis only in one side.
My plant is quite tall and doesn't stay upright without support, it has started to flower in the beginning of July here and is now in full bloom. I have also 'Craighton Blue' (or a plant bought as such), which started to flower about three weeks earlier and is now over flowering. My CB is also not so tall, but it is in different bed. This spring I also got C.elata 'Blue Summit', but it is still not very big plant and flowered earlier in pot.
