In my garden the is several Eranthis with flower bud. In my greenhouse where I have my rare species, the first with flowers this years is Eranthis byunsanensis.
-
Beautiful Karl, and such an amazing flower structure.
-
Lovely eranthis Karl
-
Thirded ;D
-
Stunning Karl! Does it set seed?
-
Ditto everyone else...AND a great name. I'd love to have a drift of this in the garden....
-
Yes it set seeds and there is a flowersize bulb after 4-5 years
-
Today I found a surprise in the garden.
-
Eranthis longistipitata today
-
Eranthis Schwefelglanz today
-
Some of my Eranthis pinnatifida is starting to Bloom.
-
Great portrait of a lovely plant, Karl.
-
Thank you Matt. Another from today Eranthis pinnatifida Alba and seedlings from same plant.
-
Eranthis hyamalis 'Orange Glowe'
-
Myddleton House ;D
-
So, 'Andenken an Johannes Raschke' is still a rare Eranthis?
http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2014Jan291391022895IRG49.pdf (http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2014Jan291391022895IRG49.pdf) - has a super photo from Hagen of this double green flower, illustrating Wim Boen's article.
(Of course, this article has been published since then in The Plantsman and also originally in the Journal of the VRV , but only the IRG is free online ;)
-
I think Joe Sharman likes to have the odd high-priced item as a publicity stunt. If he actually sells the thing then its win-win. Personally I don't find 'Andenken ...' very attractive.
-
I actually picked it up, then I saw the price and put it back :)
-
Do voles like to eat Eranthis?
-
Unfortunately an old patch of Eranthis hyemalis have succumbed to Smut. I have removed and disposed of them and my question really concerns any seedlings that might come through. Are they similarly likely to be infected, in which case should I get rid of them at first sight?
Fortunately they are all well away from the part of the garden which has the 'specials' - sigh of relief!
-
I have recently recieved some E. Longistipitata bulbils from Vlastimil Pilous, I looked on Google to read up on them, while I was on there I noticed that E.cilicica which is widely available over here is also from Asia, how come that species is so we'll know and available and none of the other Asian species aren't? All I can say is thanks goodness for Vlastimil and Janis for making these superb plants available to us.

Seedlings that come through will very likely be infected too, Brian. The fungal-spores stay in the soil for 7 - 10 years. You did the right thing by throwing them away.

All I can say is thanks goodness for Vlastimil and Janis for making these superb plants available to us.
The other Asian species come from either Central-Asia (E. longistipitata) or from the Far East (all the white flowering species) and didn't reach us as easily as E. cilicica which grows in Turkey. Also they are a bit more trickier in cultivation and don't multiply that fast vegetatively.
-

Would you suggest any method for disinfecting the soil, Wim, or is there nothing available to private gardeners?
-
Well if there is nothing available I shall just have to keep digging the seedlings up and disposing of them. What a trial :-X
-

Not really, I haven't heard anything that might disinfect the soil properly for this fungus :-\ It might be possible though, maybe something that is used for Trillium-smut since those two Urocystis species are closely related (never heard of anything against that either...)
Some say that treating the plants twice a year (when they just emerge and when the flowers fade) with a systemic fungicide works, but I've never tried that (thank God I've only ever once had Eranthis-smut). I just make sure no Eranthis grow on that place anymore...
Well if there is nothing available I shall just have to keep digging the seedlings up and disposing of them. What a trial :-X
Brian, I guess it would be best to remove the seedlings or grow something that crowds them out and isn't susceptible to Urocystis.
-
Just to remind you all of this previous thread : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11609.0 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11609.0)
-
Hi wim thanks for your answer, from what you have said it makes sense to why the two easiest species were brough into distribution first.
-
Got this recipe to prevent + heal smut on Trillium from John Lonsdale, I guess it would work on Eranthis too:
100% preventative + previously infected plants are clean using this treatment.
Prosaro
Prothioconazole 19.00% by weight
Tebuconazole 19.00% by weight
1.76 lbs/gal of prothioconazole plus 1.76 lbs/gal of tebuconazole in a liquid suspension
30-40ml/1.0-1.35 fl. oz. per 4 gallon spray tank
Daconil Ultrex
Chlorothalonil 82.5% by weight
Water-dispersible granules
1.8oz per 4 gallon spray tank
Cleary 3336 F
Thiophanate-methyl 41.25% by weight
Liquid suspension
24ml/0.8 fl. oz. per 4 gallon spray tank
Combine all three in a single tank mix and spray 2-3 times at 2 week intervals between leaf emergence and flower opening. No soil drench necessary.
-
Good grief - I know all fungicides etc can be dangerous in some circumstances, to some degree, but the detail sheets for these scare me :
Prosaro http://www.cdms.net/ldat/mp8M9001.pdf (http://www.cdms.net/ldat/mp8M9001.pdf)
Daconil Ultrex http://www.syngentacropprotection.com/pdf/labels/daconil_ultrex_28354_en_pamphlet.pdf (http://www.syngentacropprotection.com/pdf/labels/daconil_ultrex_28354_en_pamphlet.pdf)
Cleary 3336 F http://greenhouse.ucdavis.edu/pest/labels/3336%20F%20label.PDF (http://greenhouse.ucdavis.edu/pest/labels/3336%20F%20label.PDF)
If they are so dangerous on their own, goodness only knows how toxic they may be mixed together. These are seriously toxic chemicals that need to be used VERY carefully with all possible attention to safety- and not by untrained persons near to human habitation.
The consequences of misuse may not only makre you, or your family, ill - they might kill you.
-
Tebuconazole
Interestingly I have been advised that this is the ingredient to look out for, so I am sure that, lethal or not, this would do the trick. Many thanks Wim. I am now nervously keeping an eye on the 'specials'.
-
Hi all ,
a nice person ( who works on a Research Institute for plant Protection ) gave me the advice to use Folicur against Urocystis eranthidis ( smut )
He use it against Urocystis trillii ( Trillium smut ) : 3 x spraying ,always wait two weeks , 0,5 ml per liter ,
Folicur (Tebuconazole 250g/ltr. ) is not available for private gardeners
Bayer Rosen-Pilzfrei Folicur (43,5 g/l Tebuconazole ) is possibly to buy for private gardeners ( here in Germany )
I have not tested until now …

Today is the beginning of spring in the traditional Japanese calendar :)
Here is the earliest eranthis flower at my garden this season. Its anthers are lighter colour than the normal.
-
Wishing you a Happy Spring, Tatsuo!
Our friend, Fred Carrie, the SRGC Webmaster and former nurseryman was visiting today and was just bowled over by the pink baby eranthis flowering from seed sown in 2012. He's never seen anything like them before and was enchanted by them. I expect they will be featuring more in the Bulb Logs to come!
-
Thank you Maggi :) I'm looking forward to seeing your eranthis seedlings on the coming Bulb Logs ;)

Very beautiful, Tatsuo. Looking forward to seeing some more forms from your collection.

Eranthis pinnatifida, ex Yoshida, Saitama, JP. An intense purple anther seedling from wild collected seed.
This season is not for my eranthis. Some pots have only single flower bud :( I have to pay more attention to them.

Thank you, Brian! Perhaps your climate fits to grow E. pinnatifida better than ours as Ian mentioned in his post HERE (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12747.msg323101#msg323101). Its growing period can be extended in your cooler spring weather and the bulbs grow quicker ;)

Some Eranthis hyemalis start to flower. Most of them still in bud. There have been many differences to see still in bud.
Eranthis hyemalis
Eranthis hyemalis 'Pauline'
Eranthis hyemalis 'Winterzauber'
Eranthis hyemalis 'Schlyters Orange'

Thank you Ruben for such fantastic pictures I grow a few of the Eranthus that you post just about to show green still frozen solid here but they will be showing maybe next week, cheers Ian the Christie kind
-
So many gorgeous Eranthis :)
I've tried several but the only one I have got to grow is Eranthis hyemalis and even this is not satisfied. I try again and these were new in autumn and comes from the garden of a friend.

Eranthis stellata
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8610/16586557026_8f1d2e0b5f_o.jpg)
Perhaps I should have photo-shopped out the black blemish on the flower (this is the first time this plant has flowered for me -hopefully the flowers will be of greater substance next year).
Eranthis sibirica and stellata are bonny but are not in the same league as pinnatifida.
-
Beautiful E. stellata, Steve 8)
Here are Eranthis byunsanensis and E. pinnatifida multi-petalled albino :)

Nice pics of lovely plants Tatsuo ;)

John - an absolute delight to see these shots - Ian and I had been wondering how your wonderful garden was doing this season - it seems the answer is - "very well indeed" 8)
-
amazing and beautiful ;)
-
Beautiful, if only mine would seed around if only a bit.
-
Thanks for your kind comments.The aconites and snowdrops obviously like my very heavy soil.I continue to scatter seed of both each season and in addition we divide and re-plant about 2000 snowdrops.
Sorry about the photos,I have just purchased an app for re-sizing on my Mac but obviously I am doing something wrong although the last images were treated exactly the same as the first.I wish I was more computer savvy.
-
Lovely images Tatsuo and John, just imagine if Tatsuo's were in drifts like those!
-
What a wonderful garden you have John., thank you for showing us.
I can feel a very slippery slope coming on with regard to eranthis, I recognise the symptoms....... ::)
Why does nature present with these wonderful things, gets us to succumb to their beauty only to cut them down with.............SMUT :'(
-
I can feel a very slippery slope coming on with regard to eranthis, I recognise the symptoms....... ::)
Fortunately most are hard to obtain - snowdrops are in general a bit easier ;)
-
And unfortunately not as prolific.I have tried pinnatifida several times but without success although Schwefelgang appears to be more compliant having provided me with seed whilst growing in its pot and which has flowered this year from a sowing in 2012.

Nice Eranthis, Ruben
Two cultivare in my garden,
Eranthis hyemalis 'Schwefelglanz' and 'Orange Glow'
-
Thanks Dirk! Very nice group of Eranthis hyemalis 'Schwefelglanz' !!
Here in flower today:
Eranthis hyemalis 'Lady Lamortagne' - a very good double form
Eranths hyemalis 'Schlyters Riese' - A very large hyemalis form with large flowers! New to me.
-
I bought some eranthis hyemalis a couple of years ago. One clump of them seems to be something different - is the second photo E. cilicica? The ruff of leaves opened bronze and seem narrower. These flowers also emerged later than the rest.
-
All three of those traits suggest cilicica. Garden centres are careless with labels and often fail to discriminate between the two species.

Hi Carolyn,
you've got both species in one go ;) E. hyemalis (first pic) and E. cilicica (2nd pic)
-
Thanks, Alan and Wim. I bought them mail order as E. Hyemalis "in the green" from a place in East Anglia. I'm pleased that the E. Cilicica is increasing and settling down - it's not supposed to be as hardy as E.hyemalis, is it?
-
Eranthis cilicica flowers always later than E.hyemalis.
-
They both look very happy.

I hope they do flourish for you Jan.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow again, I have never heard of a yellow form Jan, sounds like there are more variations than I realise.
-
Jan, those E. sibirica look stunning. They appear to be growing out in the open. Are there secrets to achieving this? Is the straw important?

Alan
Eranthis sibirica withstand all conditions / -50 degrees, a flood, drought, fire / still comes from Russia.
It is grown very easily, is indestructible. ;D Only killer Eranthis mouse. ???
This is not a straw, it is a layer of old grass from last year. Eranthis stellata is far worse to grow, it is an aristocrat.
-
Thank, Jan. If your last year's grass is that dead then you have a much more severe winter than I do in the south of England. I wonder if E. sibirica actually benefits from a severe winter?

Alan, Eranthis flower grows in the fall just below the soil surface and waiting for spring. In February-March begins to bloom. Flowering of the soil is frozen with the tuber. You can only dig a dynamite. ;D

Eranthis longistipitata
-
Is there a source for Eranthis sibirica? Love all the eranthis but it would be so nice to mix this one in with the yellows which have naturalized themselves.

John, I searched online and had found that supplier. Do you know if they can be trusted? I would also think with Eranthis it might be better to start from seed.

He can absolutely be trusted.
The Eranthis he sells grow on well after dormancy but they are accustomed to a longer colder winter than the southern UK experiences so are best grown in the coldest aspect the garden has to offer.
Just ask Jan! ;)

Many thanks.

Thanks all. I found it hard to work out who the site belonged to and that made me a bit wary.

Eranthis sibirica five years after sowing.
-
Eranthis hyemalis, is that right?
Many years ago I planted some from supermarket bag, a few survived but they haven't multiplied. Probably wrong place or something.
-
Eranthis hyemalis, is that right?
Looks more like cilicica to me. I think hyemalis is more hardy than cilicica so better-suited to your conditions.
-

Yes, cilicica indeed....put it in a warmer and sunnier place! E. hyemalis should be better for Finland!
-
Thank you Alan and Wim :), I will move them to sunnier place!
I have bought E.hyemalis three times and each time I have gotten E.cilicica. >:(
Last summer I got two bulbs from a friend and I think they are E.hyemalis, but I planted them behind a fern where they are difficult to photograph.
I hope they will start to thrive and multiply.
-
Leena, it will be different where you are but my Eranthis cilicica are flowering now whilst my Eranthis hyemalis start flowering around 1st January and finished weeks ago. So just based on flowering time there should be little scope for confusion between the two species. When you buy E. cilicica in a Garden Centre I suspect you get a plant from a greenhouse or poly-tunnel that has been brought-on to flower early.
-

Often very surprising what comes out of these supermarket bags - I would not have expected E. cilicica from such a purchase.
-
Maggi, yes sometimes you can make finds with just a little money. :)

That's why I was mistaken with this Eranthis, it was the first to flower of my few Eranthis. The ones which I bought last autumn and which I suspect are cilicica (round tubers) though they were sold as hyemalis, have not come up yet.
These are the ones I got last year from a friend. Is the one on the right also hyemalis?

Jan Jilek is a member of this Forum and can answer your questions about wildbulbs.eu
The website at http://www.wildbulbs.eu/ (http://www.wildbulbs.eu/) seems to have defeated me. I tried to order some (Eranthis) seeds but the process culminated in a message being sent rather than a request for payment and I have not (yet) had a response in the 10 days or so since I tried. Does anybody know if this is par or did I go wrong somewhere, as I fear.
-
I think we have discussed this before - is this where one makes and order and waits to be told when payment is required ?
edit - perhaps not ..... but Jan Jilek can be contact ed via the forum....
-
Hi Maggi I wonder if I could help through my own experience, it was my understanding that if you are a new customer you should send payment with your order, I orded some bulbs which will not be ready till the autumn so was told to send a predate cheque with plenty of time on it so it does not run out. Previous customers if I remember get sent an invoice either before or with the order. Hope this helps Alan.
-
Thanks, John - personal experience always the best.
-
Thanks, John, that sort of helps and it sort of doesn't. It is very easy to use Paypal or a credit card to make payments in a foreign currency, my bank charges a £20 fee for each credit transfer and will not issue cheques (as of 11 days ago). So short of sending actual currency then I don't know how to send payment with an order. The site co-run by Janis Ruskins http://rarebulbs.lv/index.php/en/ (http://rarebulbs.lv/index.php/en/) is the same; I've never placed an order there because I'm not looking to buy hundred of pounds worth so the £20 fee for a credit transfer is prohibitive.

These are all hyemalis, Leena!
Thank you Wim. :)

Thanks, John, that sort of helps and it sort of doesn't.

Janis has a UK bank account so payment is easy.

There you go alan problem sorted, Ralph to the rescue.

Oh dear, this cannot be good news! Fortunately just a clump of ordinary Eranthis hiemalis is affected. The stem on the right has swellings and on the left presumably what happens when these burst open.
-
Alan, it is Eranthis Smut >:(.
I have had this disease for several years, but this year I tried spraying 3 times with Bayer Rosen-Pilzfrei Folicur (43,5 g/l Tebuconazole ) as described in reply #31.
It worked :D, so there is still hope!

Smut (Urocystis eranthidis) indeed, you can throw away the clump (not on the compost heap but in the garbage bin) or try the Tebuconazole as Poul said!

1. Eranthis hyemalis Flore Pleno
2. Eranthis hyemalis Grunling

Help I have just found a clump of Eranthis hiemalis 'Flore Pleno' affected with smut. I have removed all the top growth, is this sufficient or should I dig up the whole clump to prevent it spreading?
-
I took up all the tubers that had smut and got rid of them. I think if it is only one clump Olive I'd do that. I then sprayed other seedlings that came through in that area (I saw the infestation early in the year). Sorry to hear you have it, is it just that we are telling each other or do you think it is a result of the weather for the last few years?

The website at http://www.wildbulbs.eu/ (http://www.wildbulbs.eu/) seems to have defeated me....
..... but Jan Jilek can be contacted via the forum.
Jan Jilek read this thread and found my message in his spam folder so he contacted me. As it had been a bad year for seeds he persuaded me to buy corms instead; these arrived yesterday. I purchased E. sibirica and stellata and got corms the size of a large pea which I'm very pleased with. Everything went smoothly after the initial false start. But it remains to be seen if my plan to try to grow these outdoors will come to anything.

Hi Alan what is jan's forum name on here as I would like some corms of these eranthis species if he has any left.

It's Jan !

I have contacted Jan several times and asked him for more detailed information on growing Eranthis stellata and E. sibirica in the garden, but have never received a reply.

Members will be aware that the Japanese Nursery, Yuzawa Engei are SRGC members who advertise in "The Rock Garden" - they have announced on Facebook that
they have added Shibateranthis pinnatifida (Eranthis pinnatifida) to their list.

Not as exciting as the last pic, but this is the first flower on Eranthis cilicica from seed from Peter Korn in 2007!
For Redesdale this is quite an achievement - I have to grow it in a shade house!
cheers

Perhaps not in how photogenic it is, but exciting that you can manage to grow it where you are :D

Good old Eranthis hyemalis but flowering weeks earlier than usual.

WOW, very early and a bit pale looking ;)
-
Now two flowers and both pointing skyward. I have one particular spot where they flower first - but that's usually around 1st January. I don't know whether its a favourable micro-climate or the gene pool in that little area.
-
I've heard from lots of people that they are having a warm winter... I usually start checking my Eranthis pinnatifida pots around early January, but I just happened to take a look at them yesterday. I'm glad that I did, because they've already started to germinate! :o
