Corydalis 2019

[David Nicholson]

About three weeks earlier than last year the first of my Corydalis are in flower.

Now I'm not certain about this one, it's on my label as C. shanginii but there might have been a "cock-up on the label front" as it were! Can anyone reassure me?
 

David from what I can see in your picture I think it is correct.

[David Nicholson]

Thanks for that Ian.

[Steve Garvie]

I don’t think your plant is schanginii David. Corydalis schanginii is a steppelander that does not grow too well outside in the UK unless grown in well-drained soil that dries out in the Summer. The leaves are usually glaucous, quite deeply incised and with rather pointed ends to the terminal leaflets. The flowers are generally in upright racemes and are larger than on your plant. Schanginii is self-incompatible (your plant seems to have developing seed capsules).

I don’t have any images of Corydalis schanginii leaves but here is an image of the flowers taken on 14th February. I grow it under glass, it was up early this year.

Steve does have a point, I have had an other look this morning with less tired eyes and seeing the seed pods forming makes me think it could be Corydalis paczoskii however Corydalis in the garden are very difficult to ID especially from pictures.

no Corydalis in the garden currently, in the greenhouse they started to show their best.
The light wasn't good enough to take pictures but i try to manage it as i can.

Corydalis wendelboi

Thanks Steve and Ian. A bit of a quandry, I'll have search through some old labels and see what I can find.

Had I looked properly at the next label along it is Corydalis paczoskii.

Nice David!

My plants are all in the garden but they develop slowly now as it is colder than it was in February!

The first one is a solida seedling and the second one is nameless.

What a beautifully natural scenery!

Corydalis solida self-seeds prolifically in my garden, here´s a very unlike pair of sisters.

Thanks Mariette. My plants also self-seed and I let the grow. I also try to find the right spot outside when I plant bulbs, never in pots.

In the Munich Botanical Garden C. solida currently is everywhere. Here some pinks, purples and a nice red one in the company of Chionodoxa.
At home the bulb belt species are pretty nice right now. First C. maracandica and then C. ainae.
