First seeds collection of the season!
Two days ago I collected the first seeds of Corydalis malkensis and Corydalis paczoskii.
There is always a strange excitement when collecting Corydalis seeds. Maybe because of their ephemeral nature; the seeds are the assurance that they will not only flower 
again next spring but also multiply.
Corydalis solida seeds are also starting to mature. In the featured image we have a new example for the Corydalis ‘Wildheart mix’. Redoing the bed in the fall I thought I’ll move a couple of malkensis by themselves but it seems deep down there was already the purple C. solida in place. Serendipity gives best results in the garden 😊
There are also capsules formed on Corydalis caucasica. Otherwise, it is not a great seeds season comparing to last year. The spring came very slow and remained too cold for long resulting in a late emergence of the bumblebees.
Those new to Corydalis, or who have never grown them from seeds, please review the following posts with plenty of pictures and info on how to grow them from seeds. Once you have Corydalis in the garden you will never want to be without them!
Updates referring to some Corydalis species shown in a post below for those who have questions: I must have done something wrong with the C. ambigua potted seedlings since they are a no-show; C. vittae seedlings are alive though and the same goes for C. turtschaninovii, it should even produce a few flowers shortly.

The gap of time until Hepatica seeds will mature will be too large this year in order to offer them together like last year.
There is also the spectre of another Canada Post strike at the end of May!… What and when will happen seeds wise, if possible, will be announced.
