Corydalis

They are beautiful, my little pink one has just come up!

Aren't they lovely. I've both of these too Sheila - when you plant them out - remember to mark where they are, they will be disappearing pretty soon!
My C. elata suffered pretty badly with being waterlogged and although I lifted it and it recovered - I planted it in a different part of the garden and sadly no sign!! It should have been a mass of foliage by now!

ahh very nice little flower and the leaves are lovely too.

Have you put a photo of yours on yet Sticki? Yes Scottish, they are lovely. It has been exceptionally cold weather maybe it will come on if we get some heat. I was worried about 'Kingfsher' as I had not noted where it was although I could see it on photos. I was relieved to see it popping up in just a few days.

Oohhh....love them....Might have to buy some...:>)

Scotsgran keep an eye on Kingfisher for slugs and snails they love them at this stage juicy and tender,You know that kingfisher is totally different type to your other two ?

I love these, and I have had a blue one for a few years but I've seen no sign of it this year....:(

That is lovely - I don't know these plants. "Kingfisher" is fascinating.

the blue ones should show in the garden centres soon.Usually they are a form Corydalis Flexuosa and are various shades of blue, One is called 'Blue Panda And all have been brought into cultivation in the 1990s so recent, the name Blue Panda tells all they were found growing with Bamboo by by naturalists studying the Panda in China.
Corydalis kingfisher is a hybrid so a little different but won't bore you with the details.

I'm sure we wouldn't be bored, I love learning about all kinds of plants and I hadn't heard of Kingfisher before, I'll look out for it in the garden centres.

Thanks for the info, Bjs. I'll keep a look out for them.

The first one is a lovely blue...Kingfisher Blue, I'm guessing!!!

Sorry SG no I haven't, been a busy week, will try to do that today.

Pretty, pretty, pretty!

Hi Bjs I know it is a hybrid of Corydalis cashmiriana with C. flexuosa, produced by the Keith Lever of Aberconwy Nursery. The flowers are brilliant sky blue, a quality derived from the cashmiriana parent, and are produced over an astonishing long period, from early summer onwards. The other two flower in early to late Spring.
