Very nice. I wish it would grow better in my garden.
-
I also lost this one, this one is indeed more difficult.
Others are growing better:
Erythronium tuolumnense
Erythronium oregonum
Erythronium californicum
Erythronium hendersonii
-
Herman, I grow these ones too and I agree with you, they are much easier to grow.
-
I agree the Oregon and California are more adaptable and easier to grow; but, Japonica is, in my opinion, more rewarding.

Seedling, pictures are of the same plant.

Who could fail to be enchanted by these gorgeous erythronium flowers? And then there are all the great leaf markings too! Double joy!

Erythronium american. The sun hasn't been out enough for the flowers to fully open.

From Facebook - from Barb Martin - Yellow Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum)
(Liliaceae)
"Never have seen this color variant in Yellow Trout Lily with the two-toned reddish and yellow tepals. Saw several in one small area growing around a large tree and nowhere else.
Woodland in Putnam County " S. E. Pennsylvania

I've never seen such a dark-marked flower - stunning!

Interesting looking Erythronium americanum.
Was looking for pictures of erythronium oregonum x hendersonii. The clump forming of oregonum, and multi flowers per flower stalk of hendersonii would be amazing, combined.
Not as striking as my seedlings are, if mine are oregonum x hendersonii. Mine haven't clumped up, maybe they won't....Mine do set seed, and pollen is good.

Guff,
They are beautiful! If they set seed, may I buy some?
-
MarcR, sorry but I have to say no.
I have been trying my luck at hybridizing these for years, and it takes a long time to even see a flower. Most don't grow well here.
You can buy Erythronium seed from.

Last Erythronium for me this year. Didn't have a lot of flowers this Spring. Probably had over a
hundred of Erythronium americanum flowers this year though.
Many years ago I had purchased many packets of every type of Erythronium alplains.com had.
Last time It flowewred Maggie said possible E. helenae x E. californicum hybrid

Erythronium 'White Beauty' from Kelly Dodson at Far Reaches Farm in 2008

Marc ,Guff and Claire very nice erythroniums.
I tried Erythronium japonicum few years back from tubers but unfortunately it is not hardy in our climate. The only Erythronium that is doing well is Erythronium sibericum.
I have some Eryhronium americium planted last year. Hope they comeback and flower in spring
-
Kris, thanks.
Posting new pictures of the mystery plant, possible E. helenae x E. californicum hybrid seedling.

Kris,
Snow cover, if you have it, should protect them. If not, You could grow them under a cold frame with a heat bulb and a thermostat set to -28C (-20 F); or pot them and overwinter them in an out building.
