Corydalis 2010

[arisaema]

No flowers yet but I hope that by knowing its ID I can treat it more appropiate instead of guessing what its cultural requirements have to be.

It's impossible without flowers, but when in doubt, treat it as a woodlander - and this certainly looks like one!

[arisaema]

One of the last to flower here is this Chinese C. turtshaninovii, only 'Eric the Red' and a Japanese C. ?ambigua are later.

[Oakwood]

Some recently blooming in my garden caucasian corydalises from highlands. There it flowered in mid-August, at me it blooms from mid-April till now.

C. conorhyza, from 2600 m, in buds
C. emanuelii, from 3000 m, in buds and flowers

nice to see these--i have some seed sown from conorhyza (some similar but different spelling, i presume was the same sp..) but i imagine it was dry stored over 6 months, so i guess i don't have much hope..

Cohan these two species don't like at all dry storing, they dye! the correct writing is CONORHYZA.

thanks--yes, that's why i don't expect anything from those seeds, but i thought it doesn't hurt to try (except a few euros!) i will check your spelling against what i have--of course, probably it wont matter if nothing comes up...lol

meanwhile, the native C aurea is just starting to flower here...

[Lesley Cox]

Always try Cohan. I had seed 3 or 4 years ago of a couple of species and though it was old seed, there was some germination. You may not get lots of plants but even one or two are worth the effort and are a start. Never say die, in fact.

thanks for the encouragement, lesley i got them late winter/early spring, so they went outside, and there they will stay, potted, enclosed in a baggie, until either i see something, or next spring, at least..i would love a whole batch, but you're right--i'd be thrilled with just a couple
i perhaps should contact a couple of the vendors and see if they would send notice when some of these short-lived seeds are harvested-otherwise, i suspect by the time catalogues are finalised, they are already old!-apart from kristl, who moist packs--i haven't seen anyone else doing this...

[goatshed]

Can anyone tell me what this rampant thug is? It's a bit coarse, seeds itself readily, and grows about a foot high with the same spread. I grew it from some swapped seed several years ago.

[arisaema]

C. ophiocarpa, I think.

[goatshed]

Ah, thanks! That sounds a familiar name.

[gote]

My Corydalis are of course later than most but now the blue ones have started.
Corydalis nobilis has been semi-naturalized in Sweden since it was imported by Carl von Linne. It is quite nice and fragrant.
The mixed pic shows whitish colida penza red seedlings and yellow bracteata.
Corydalis ornata has a very nice blue "lipstick"
Corydalis 'Amur' is a clone I have from Janis (like most corydalis actually) It is very vigorous and beautiful.
Red corydalis is a good background to Scilla rosenii I think

[Ragged Robin]

Great shots of your Corydalis in that light Gote -

Red corydalis is a good background to Scilla rosenii I think

I do too, it's a really attractive combination

[arisaema]

Corydalis elliptocarpa, from a kind forumnist last summer. It's nicely fragrant
