Re: epis and Jeffersonia and Glaucidium

Zem- this is great. I forwarded on to my husband whose patience with job hunting is particularly thin today.

You'd be most welcome, Bonnie....most of them are done tho' a few
still have some flowers so it would need to be early April:-)  Just
let me know when you feel like heading east tho' this may be my last
spring in this garden since it has become evident that we're going to
have to sell up and move in the very near future - after 30 years
here.  I'm determined to take as much of my garden with me as I can
and have started digging and potting things; figure this season I
will be digging plants; not planting them.

Late on this thread as usual, but I have been enjoying my epis this

year as


I've been down in the woodland garden and caught most of them while

in bloom


BUT did not have sense enough to take camera down to get pix while

they were


at the height of bloom...yet again.  I've
got:

Epimedium brachyrrhizum
Epimedium cantabridgensis
Epimedium diphyllum - large leaf form
Epimedium epsteinii
Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lavender Lady'
Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee'.....this really is a lovely child;

highly


recommend it.
Epimedium grandiflorum 'Orion'
Epimedium grandiflorum 'Silver Queen'
Epimedium x  'Kaguyahime'.....this was given me by a UK pal; it is

tiny but


the foliage and flowers are fabulous - well worth looking out for.
Epimedium x rubrum
Epimedium x setosum
Epimedium versicolor
Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum'
Epimedium x youngianum 'Azusa'
Epimedium youngianum niveum

All seem to be doing fine; some are doing a bit too fine as they're

covering


more territory than I want them to:-)  Got several from Daryl in

'03 and I


am finally beginning to recognize them and attach their names to

them - will


take some time before I can look at these plants and say this is X

without


scratching around for the label I buried next to it:-)  My problem

with


Epimediums is that they're addictive - so many and so little time

and not


enough $$:-)

I'd assumed that Daryl sent his plants later because of his zone -

they were


later coming on.  Kitty, did he say that they should be dug in June

in all


climate zones?

I also grow Jeffersonia diphylla and if I'm quick enough I get to

see the


flowers - they're as brief as bloodroot but the plant is well worth

growing


for the foliage.  Have a slew of Jeffersonia dubia that I grew from

seed;


some flowered this spring and I badly need to dig them up and pot

them as


they're crowded in a seedbed I made for them too long ago.  Does

anybody


know when the best time to dig these little darlings would be?

Same with


Glaucidium palmatum - I have about 4 that have survived from

several years


of trying to grow them from seed - one is now blooming and they're

mashed in


behind some hellebores and badly need more space.
