Erythronium 2012
« on: March 11, 2012, 11:34:18 PM »
First to show itself above ground. All three hendersonii I bought are above ground and looks like all three have buds. I checked my seed bed, lots of seedlings showing green.

1-Erythronium hendersonii

E. hendersoniiMine are at the same stage here in N Wales. 1 small corm obtained in 2007 became 2 last year and now both have flowering stems. Also collected and sowed seed last year. Is it self fertile or am I wasting my time hoping for germination?

Erle,

As far as I know, if it weren't fertile, it wouldn't set seed. 8)  So congrats.  If you had other Erythronium nearby you may have hybrids, but otherwise it would be pure species.

Purpurascens and oregonum are now showing a tip above ground. Hopefully they also have buds.

Guff,

Rose Queen should be darker than Pink Beauty, from memory.  I'd say definitely not correct.  Doesn't look very "rose" coloured, does it. :'(

While much of the northern hemisphere it seems has had an unusually early spring this year, things have been rather slow in my part of the world (Oregon) with lots of rain, wind, and cold.  Then this morning we woke up to snow, which accumulated to about 5 inches before it turned to rain.  Pretty unusual for us to get this much snow in January, let along March.  My only erythroniums now in bloom are E. tuolumnense and a few plants of E. oregonum ssp. oregonum, but they all look rather sad poking through the snow.
