Some photos of Corydalis in his collection from Dimitri Zubov ( who, by the way, has just written about Galanthus in the Causasus in the latest issue of IRG - http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2020Mar261585255661IRG123.pdf (http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2020Mar261585255661IRG123.pdf) )

Lots of early spring colour on the rockery.

Thank you Maggie for posting all these gorgeous corydalis pictures. We can all use pretty pictures right now.

that's a Corydalis fiesta :o
-
What an amazing number of Corydalis!
And there are lots more. I've just read Brian Whitton and Gilbert Chan's article on Corydalis in Yunnan in the January issue of The Rock Garden.
-
I sowed these as Corydalis tomentella from the seedex. The seedlings do not look like any corydalis I have ever grown. What do you think?

Oh dear, not a corydalis I'm sure - but what can they be?
-
Maybe the donor of the seeds has a photo.
But, they look fast enough growing that you won't have to wait years to find out.
-
Already posted last year but this hybrid is pretty, Corydalis solida 'Domino'. It doesn't clump like other solida.
-

Wonder if it might be French sorrel - Rumex scutatus :-\ I do not, however, recommend tasting it !
-
I won't be tasting it! Not till we get really desperate for green veg, our local Tesco has empty shelves... I have made a big pot of wild garlic soup (just as well we are in isolation, it's very strong but delicious.)
I will grow the seedlings on and report back. I wonder if it's something beginning with c and the person packing the seeds muddled some packets with corydalis? I think a lot of the corydalis seeds this year came from the national collection, so they should be correctly named. I don't remember thinking that the seeds looked odd, so they must have been vaguely corydalis-sized.

Looks a bit like Dodecatheon but for the slight toothing on some edges.
-
What a marvelous show of Corydalis flowers!
Thanks to all posting. They are just showing up here.
-
Wonderful corydalis in the previous page, thank you for posting them Maggi. :)
Corydalis persica and Corydalis angustifolia are new to me, I wonder if they would be hardy enough to grow here?
They look really nice.
My Corydalis were coming up last week, but as it is cold again, the only one with flowers is C.malkensis in the earliest place.
-
Corydalis are slowly starting for flower.
Here is a picture of how different the foliage can be, the one on the left is C.solida 'Royal Red', and the one on the right is a hybrid C.kusnetzovii x C.solida 'Cherry Lady' showing more C.kusnetzovii type foliage.
-
Kingfisher flowering here;
[attachimg=1]
-
Is 'Kingfisher' earlier than flexuosa-type Corydalis?
This yellow one is C.marschalliana 'Crimea'. It is early and I like it a lot! :)
-
Corydalis marschalliana is very big. I have had it more than five years and it is growing well.
Last autumn I planted Corydalis maracandica. I had tried it once before, but it never came up the next spring but that was a cold winter.
Now I planted this big corm very deep, and winter was mild. I didn't know the way it grows. I planted it in the back between the sticks, and it came up with many shoots in an area maybe 40cm wide, and none of the shoots are between the sticks. ::)
One shoot has flowers, and it will be interesting to see how this Corydalis does here in the future. If all shoots had flowers it would be a wonderful sight.
-
C. marschalliana 'Crimea' is splendid Leena!
First time I heard of maracandica, I will try to read about it.
Finally a sunny and warmer day, a relief even for Corydalis; I took pictures with my best red.
[attachimg=1]
From before the cold arrived, a group of C. malkensis mixed with solida which I really like :)
[attachimg=2]
And the delicate Corydalis paczoskii still in a pot.

-
Gabriela, that is a very good red. Sun always brings the best out of red Corydalis. :)
-
'Cherry Lady' is the reddest one I have. :) The picture is taken in backlight but it is very red even in cloudy weather.
-
I sowed these as Corydalis tomentella from the seedex. The seedlings do not look like any corydalis I have ever grown. What do you think?
An update:
I pricked out the seedlings, which have grown quickly. They seem quite brittle and easily bruised, like many papavers etc. Any ideas? I wondered about some sort of mimulus? (I don't know much about these)
-

Gabriela, that is an impressive red! I've tried Corydalis from seed a few times but had no positive results- the seed was either too old/dry at the time, or the seed pots dried out at critical points. Will have to give them another try sometime!
-
Carolyn, I think you are right about your seedlings being Mimulus. I couldn't guess as far as species go, but the foliage looks much like the hybrid garden Mimulus to me.
-
A couple of Corydalis here that are missing labels. I suspect the blue one might be difficult to name but the purple one might be easier?

David,
I think the one with the yellow foliage is "Berry Exciting", which I keep losing over the winter. I have now given up trying it.
-
Thanks Carolyn, I don't remember buying that one though!
-
Corydalis marschalliana from Leonid Bondarenko is a bit different than C.marschalliana 'Crimea', and it flowers a little later, but they are not growing side by side so it is difficult to say why the different flowering time.
C.solida 'Firebird' is a good one, too.
-

I'm now fairly certain that this is Corydalis 'Wildside Blue'?
[attachimg=1]
-
Corydalis nobilis is flowering now. It is a big plant, but goes underground soon after flowering so it doesn't take room later in the summer.
-
Blue flowering bulbous Corydalis haven't been easy to grow for me, I have lost many, but now there are some flowering. :)
C.turtschaninovii 'Eric the Red' lives but hasn't multiplied at all in over five years.
This C.turtschaninovii in the second picture is doing better, it's place has more moist and humus.
The third picture is of a plant I bought as C.fumariifolia ssp fumariifolia, but it is flowering at the same time as C.turtschaninovii, so I'm not sure what it is. It has more divided leaves though.
