Corydalis glaucescens 'Early Beauty' - Archived archive
On his very first trip to the mountains, Janis Ruksans found a corydalis in the Medeo Mountains in Kazakhstan. Before the corydalis was given its proper name, it went through life as: 'The pretty corydalis from the Kyrgyz Alatau'. Later, Arnis Seisums visited this area, but not so high in the mountains and found a similar Corydalis with a much earlier flowering. This is the selection offered here. Numerous, striking pale pink flowers. (S)
Corydalis haussknechtii - Archived archive
First described in the notes of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh in 1988. Its range is restricted to south-eastern Turkey and northern Iraq, growing in temperate climates. The slender stem bears an airy-looking flower cluster, consisting of up to 20 white or pale pink flowers, the tip of which has a purple lip. The leaves are dark green and not that deeply incised. (B)
Corydalis integra - Archived archive
Occurring on northern slopes in, inter alia, the eastern part of the Balkans, the Aegean region and northwestern Anatolia. A beautiful species with decorative blue-green leaves and soft pink-white flowers, each with a small black-purple dot. If it is planted in a cool spot, the flowers get a soft blue glow. (B)
Corydalis ledebouriana - Archived archive
A very early flowering species, usually occurring on somewhat nutrient-rich soils in the mountains of Central Asia. The offered lot was found on Mount Chimgan in Uzbekistan, where it occurs en masse among the Gagea. The compact flower cluster consists of many spurred flowers forming a colour shade of deep purple with very pale pink or white. (S)
Corydalis marschalliana - Archived archive
A closely related species to C. bulbosa (cava), cave root, from the Balkans, Crimea, Caucasus and north-western Iran, among others. It is characterised by completely ovate to elliptical leaf lobes, but because of its wide distribution, other leaf shapes closer to C. bulbosa occur. The flowers are creamy white to creamy yellow (B).
Corydalis schanginii subsp. schanginii - Archived archive
This corydalis probably has the largest distribution area of all Central Asian species. Available are descendants of plants that were collected at 1800-2000 m altitude in Kyrgyzstan near Bishek in 1975. When this miracle was found in 1833, they named it C. longiflora. The long inflorescence consists of white flowers, pink-spurred with purple lips. Very hardy. (S)
Corydalis solida 'Snowy Owl' - Archived archive
Spring Corydalis or bird-in-a-bush. Origin: Lebanon, western Asia and large parts of Europe. In the Netherlands along the major rivers, around old country houses and still here and there in southern Limburg. A special feature of this bulbous plant is the gutter-forming scale at the beginning of the flower stem. The flowers form a cluster and are white. The delicate incised leaves are a fresh green colour. (B)
Corydalis vittae 'Goliath' - Archived archive
In the western Caucasus growing Corydalis vittae, A. Seisums encountered this large form. The initially creamy white flowers glow to snow-white. A beautiful, robust, late-flowering Corydalis, certainly among the best white forms. (S)
Corydalis wendelboi subsp. wendelboi - Archived archive
Origin: south-western Turkey, occurring on stony slopes up to 2000 m altitude, often near melting snow. The leaves are grey-green, deeply lobed, above which appear the soft lilac-pink flowers, a somewhat later-flowering Corydalis.
