Adlumia fungosa is not the same as C. lutea.   A. fungosa is a native of
the Northeastern US and C. Lutea is from Europe.  A. fungosa is a climbing
monocarpic type of fumitory but is probably in the same Family, but is a
different genus.

On another note:  We really like those 'pesky' self seeders like C. lutea.
They can be really handy when used in the right spaces.  We find our's
especially wonderful for seeding itself into stone walls and spilling
elegantly down them.  It does so in a way that we could never achieve if we
tried to plant them that way......Different strokes for different folks.

Finally, has anyone out there gotten seed (and/or grown it from collected
seed) from Corydalis flexuosa 'Blue Panda' plants?   We were told that it
does not self sow, but we seem to have seeds setting on our plants (that we
just got a few weeks ago)....However, none are mature and ripe yet.
