Eranthis hyemalis 'Orange Glow' - so pleased that this has come true from seed.
[attachimg=1]

This year this is the first Eranthis to flower in my garden. The long, reddish stalks are typical, as the comparatively small buds are. I´m not sure whether it´s ´Winterzauber´or a seedling.
-
Nice work, they're gorgeous. How many years to flowering size? I started 'Orange Glow' and 'Schwefelglanz' last winter...
-
Like having little suns in your greehouse , really lovely Roma .
Angie :)

Found a couple of multipetaled E. pinnatifida this morning. The recent rain has left them a little dirty... E. hyemalis 'Aurantiaca' and 'Schwefelglanz' are following soon. This is my favorite time of the year!

A couple to move into 2019 here Maggi.

So there are, thanks David!

Maggi, we seem to have two Eranthis 2019 threads now ;D

I' ll fix things! I must have been too busy wondering if you were having a pleasant afternoon with lots of birthday cake, dear Roma!!

Your Eranthis pinnatifida look wonderful, Peppa! I´m so sorry that I can´t grow them in my garden.

Oops! Thanks for moving my post to the correct thread! :)
Mariette, Thanks! is it too cold to grow them at your place?

The seeds were sown in January 2000 and germinated in March 2011. First flowers were last year (2018). I'm not very good at feeding and repotting so I think they could be flowered quicker with better care.

You should be able to get flowers in the 3rd year of growth, certainly the 4th. I have just flowered Orange Glow and Schwefelglanz from seed, sown fresh as soon as ripe in May, germinated the following January - you just get the cotyledon leaves in the first season. Feed with very dilute tomato fertiliser till the cotyledons go dormant. 2nd season - true leaves, feed by sprinkling some of Ian Young's magic potion - sulphate of potash (or more tomato fertiliser). By the end of the 2nd season of growth I plant them out in the garden and sometimes am rewarded with some flowers in season 3. If you get seeds from the seedex, they will not be fresh and are unlikely to germinate well. I bought some GA3 a couple of years ago and tried it with eranthis. 100% germination by the next spring!

In this part of Germany we enjoy zone 7 b - 8 a, too. But the boggy rural area where I´m gardening is infested with slugs, which renders the culture of the white species unreasonable. They´d look so wonderful combined with black or blue hellebores. Eranthis stellata flowers together with Adonis amurensis in Eastern Russia, a beautiful sight I once admired seeing a report featuring that area.
-
Eranthis hyemalis but it would be nicer to see them open.

They're a lot further on than here, David - a touch of sun (google it - you'll remember it when you see some photos) and they'll be lovely.
I fear there is a lot more nasty weather to come yet, so I'm not too worried about our flowers being a little "shy" !!

Ah, yes. Round thing, gets hot?

That's the one - not to be confused with a set of similar things in the kitchen!!

Flowering here 'Pauline' and 'Copenhagen' (syn of Flore Pleno according to Wim's article in IRG)

Ian got a couple of nice plants of different Eranthis from Chris Ireland-Jones of Avon in Co. Carlow last weekend.. only slightly squashed after their journey home!

For the last week, it has been clear skies, 8 °C maximum, -1 °C overnight. Eranthis seem to be loving it. There were a couple of pots with flowers last year, but this is the first year with a ‘full house’. Unnamed variety bought at garden centre, seeds sown fresh in May 2014.

What a cracking wee plant Tatsuo!

Eranthis cilicica
It's taken a few years to get this established and I'm not sure they are all correct. I twice bought a potful at the SRGC Early Bulb Display. I have grown some from seed and they have self seeded. They are much later flowering than hyemalis. The tall ones on the left look as if they might be hybrids.

Eranthis byunsanensis from Korea
-
Eranthis coll. Kot
-
I'm still having trouble identifying Eranthis. I have bought all these from garden center as E.hyemalis and they flower at the same time.
I'm thinking could the first one be E.cilicica?
How about the second and the third picture, are they E.hyemalis?

Leena look at http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2014Jan291391022895IRG49.pdf (http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2014Jan291391022895IRG49.pdf) there is a fine description of Eranthis.
-
:D Thank you Herman. E.cilicica is easier because more pinnate and bronze leaves, but I'm not sure how to tell E.hyemalis and E.x tubergenii.. :-\ It seems that when you buy Eranthis from garden centers you can not be sure what you get. Here also they flower at the same time, so even that is not a feature I can use to tell which is which.
-
In my old very dry garden Eranathis hyemalis grew like a weed whilst Eranthis cilicica always died out very rapidly; mostly it never returned the following year.
-
I am struggling with all Eranthis, the conditions in my garden are not ideal for them, because I know people here in Finland who can grow them well, so it is not the climate.
-
Leena,
I struggled to grow Eranthis at first in my garden, I bought some "in the green" and planted them. The slugs soon finished them off.... then I tried buying some in pots, pollinating the flowers and harvesting seeds. After repeating this process for several years I now have a nice colony of self-seeding plants in the garden - including cilicica (and I live on the wet west coast) and 'Schwefelglanz' and 'Orange glow' which come true from seed. I think sowing very fresh seed is the answer. I have found that older dry seed can germinate if treated with GA3, so seeds fromthe seed exchanges can be of use too.
-
I haven't had very good germination from seed ex seeds, but will try them again. :) Getting different colour forms of Eranthis would be nice.
I have waited for Eranthis to form colonies by self seeding, but I will try your method, Carolyn, and collect the seeds and sow them in pots! Then all the seeds have a good chance of germinating, if left to seed to the ground there may be too many perils for them. :)
-
Two new seedlings.

I have shown these Eranthis pinnatifida seedlings in the photos of seedlings thread a week earlier, but today they had a much more pleasant appearance, so I‘ll show them again. The were just sown in 2017 from the few seeds I harvested from my first flowering plant, and they grew to flowering size quite quickly. Given that this species is still quite pricey, growing from seed is fairly attractive indeed!
-
Very beautiful, Tomte! Unfortunately, the white species are not happy in my garden.
The buds of ths Eranthis ´Sachsengold´look fascinating, I think.

Very happy to find this pot with E. pinnatifida. I bought them from Japan in autumn 2018 but there was no growth 2019 so I assumed their journey had been too much for them. Clearly they’re tougher than I thought (especially as they were neglected and left outside all winter).
Maybe some flowers next year.
