In charge – Corydalis nobilis
In preparation of going away for a little while, I looked around today to see who would remain in charge of the garden and the seedlings…The first ones asked found excuses of being busy flowering, setting seeds, or putting up new growth.
So, I had to appoint by force the lord of the garden – Corydalis nobilis. You will hardly find a more reliable, resilient and fair garden fellow. From its corner location it can easily survey the whole garden, including the youngster Cory (from seed) which is flowering for the first time.
Corydalis nobilis
I read somewhere (most probably in an AGS Journal) about an old, neglected garden where C. nobilis had taken hold of and was growing everywhere like a weed. It can maybe happen in time; say 30 years from now on.
Sounds like a good plan…
And a few May pictures: new and older plants establishing together, Aquilegia canadensis- short form in the sun-rockery (in the making), and… lots of seedlings :) On to the seed adventures at full steam!
Nice shots, all. Have a good trip!! (I bet you’ll miss the garden….)
Thank you Tina, that’s for sure!
Beautiful plant! I grow Corydalis lutea and C. ochroleuca and love them, even though C. lutea seeds everywhere. It also blooms from April to October.
What a beauty! You always introduce me to new plants and I love it. Have a good trip, come home soon :)
All Corydalis are lovely, even the ones a bit weedy ;)
Thanks; this is indeed a great Corydalis, with one ‘weak point’: it goes dormant in late summer.
