I grew up seeing these in my grandmother's woods, and have a small area in my garden today. They are very special plants - I did not know there were any cultivars other than the species. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thesilentseed.com, rare and unusual plants from around the world tylus_seklos@aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Mark BROWN <brown.mark@wanadoo.fr> To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Tue, Feb 11, 2014 2:41 pm Subject: [pbs] Sanguinaria Hello All, Sanguinaria is one of my all time favourites. The single form is more elegant but more fleeting. S. canadensis 'Multiplex' spreads nicely here and after a few years I have quite a large patch. The sigle forms seems less spreading. I remember seeing carpets of this in Ontario around the lake shore woods. Quite a magical sight when mixed with Trillium grandiflorum from pure white to clear pinks. Anemonella thalictroides was common here too. An unforgettable sight! I've just seen that the latter is now classed as a Thalictrum. These eastern woods are quite something for geophytes. Mark The snowdrop season is well underway here, with companions: Cyclamen coum, C. persicum, Eranthis and Crocus tommasinianus. No sign of any corydalis yet.
