Title: Erythronium
Post by: kalle-k.dk on April 15, 2012, 06:38:25 PM

 Is there any who can tell me which Erythronium I have?

Karl,

I'd be guessing one of the oregonums, but we need a pic of the fully open flower to show markings I think.  Also, any chance of a foliage pic with less reflection to show the markings better?  Not being picky, it just helps to make sure the markings are right, but on the flower and the leaves. 8)

Karl - We also need to see anther filaments. Perhaps you could try using a mirror?

Karl - the fat anther filaments suggest it is E. oregonum or a hybrid of this species.
