Dear All, I've talked before about my variegated Cardamine californica var. sinuata (tuberous) grown from seed a friend shared she had saved from a local population. Jane asked me to write something about it for NARGS. I've struggled to get good pictures and this year it has been looking especially nice. One of my hiking friends who visits from Oregon was interested in seeing them and he took pictures for me and Jane using a tripod and I have added them to the wiki. They are growing in an area I try to keep native and also don't water in summer growing under redwoods which is always a challenge. But this patch has been doing well. Companions: Oxalis oregana, Viola sempervirens, Chlorogalum pomeridianum, Lilium maritimum, Dicentra formosa, Vancouveria planipetala. I think the Lilium would like more light and the Dicentra in these conditions merely hangs on and does not spread and I've been unsuccessful getting any of the Trillium ovatum seed I've added there to come up and grow even though there are a few growing in our neighborhood in undeveloped areas. This year the Cardamine has really been floriferous making me give second thoughts about my sometimes saying that I grow this just for the leaves. It has been very delicate and beautiful. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I've sometimes said that this plant is my Northern California version of Cyclamen. It goes dormant late summer and reappears in December. Mary Sue
