Hello - a friend is searching for these Eranthis cultivars:
Pauline , Joel Ayres, Orange Glow , Kopenhagen , Göteborg!
Can anybody tell a source for these plants please?
-
Thomas, your friend is not the only one!

Noel Ayres is a bit like hen's teeth just now as is Pauline. Both are being bulked here in the UK and Europe. Only a small number are released each year.
Orange Glow is available from Monksilver here in the UK. I bought my plants at last weekend's Galanthus Gala.
The nicest of all, Eranthis 'Schwefelglanz', is available in Germany and it's the source for all those in the UK

From the AGS web site
"Eranthis ‘Orange Glow’ came from the Copenhagen Botanic Garden. There it had languished until rescued, but proved to do better here and usually comes true from seed, adding a warmer note of pale orange to a bleak month.
Patricia Dales’ E. ’Pauline’ gained a PC in 1986, and was a pale yellow clump in a garden swarm – but little has been seen of it.
Recently there have been exciting arrivals from Germany: E. ’Schwefelglanz’, reputed to be between apricot and straw colour with apricot anthers, E. ’Zitronenfalter’ a pale lemon-yellow and E. ‘Grunling’ which boasts green stripes on its yellow segments. E. ’Gothenburg’ is semi-double and produces seed. And for those who like doubles there is the, sometimes untidy, greenish-yellow E.’ Noel Ayres’ from Anglesey Abbey ( of snowdrop fame), named for a head gardener there.

Hi Mark!
is it possible to see any pictures of the named cultivars?
-
Johan I dont have them all but will look later. My 'Pauline' died over the summer. I think the drought followed by continuous rain rotted the tuber.

Ok! Maybe later then! Thanks Mark
