Eranthis hyemails 'Guinea Gold'

Jim,

Does the "aff" tag fit here? Never quite sure how it is
applied. Always think of it as meaning "related to" or "possibly"
when I see it in naming. Could Eranthis aff. 'Guinea Gold' be
applied in this case?

Are many of the 'Guina Gold' that are about coming from seedlings
from the original? Given it is a hybrid between species (or not,
depending on whether they're all hyemalis <grin>) then I would assume
you'd throw back to both sides, which would give you a whole range of
different flowers under the one name etc?

Cheers.
