Re: Corydalis

I guess I will give up trying with the Corydalis flexuosa clones, like Blue
Panda and China Blue.

Gail, C. ex DuFu Temple is probably Corydalis linstowiana, listed in the
corydalis book as a biennial.  I have been keeping Corydalis ex DuFu going,
but in the spot I am growing it, it does not come up on its own the
following year.   I have carried seedlings of this one through the winter
in the greenhouse so far.   I guess I'll plant some of the seedlings in the
shade garden next spring.

If anyone finds a source for Pseudofumaria alba, a.k.a. Corydalis
ochroleuca, please let me know.  Gene Bush, when are your plants going to
be ready to sell?

I got Corydalis bracteata from Mr. J. Ruksans (Latvia) last year, and it
bloomed beautifully this spring.  I saved most of the seeds, and have them
planted in a 6" pot under some grit.  I have no idea what is necessary to
start them germinating.  I am also wondering if the original plants of C.
bracteata survived the summer here.  They lost their leaves in June and are
still underground.
