Nice stuff, Wim!
I'm jealous of your different T thalictroides cultivars. Have tried to establish some here with little success

Thanks, Trond. Really weird that the T. thalictroides (Anemonella) doesn't grow at your place....maybe to cold in winter?? Would you like to try again?

Wim- many nice things in flower there, as always!

Thanks Cohan!

Oh yes!
I don't think it is the climate actually but slugs and snails. I kill several small gastropods every day - but they are out in the night and they seem to prefere soft garden plants to grass and weeds Although it is mild it isn't very warm so the plants develop slowly and are prone to attack every night for a long time till they get so big and tough that the slugs loose interest.

It seems to be hardy here, so not surviving in zone 8 can't be due to any lack of hardiness!  Maybe it drowned, Trond.

I don't know what's the worse - whether it drowned or was munched by slugs

The wild Thalictrum thalictroides here survive most of the summer in dry woodland soil as just tuberous roots and no foliage.  In the garden with better conditions, they tend to stay green far longer and flower for at least an extra month.

Rick, that is exactly how I would like it in my woodland! - together with wood anemones, trilliums etc

[RickR]

Last season I tried to collect seed for you, Trond.  I kept looking at them (the seeds), thinking they are almost ready but not quite, and the next time I went to collect, they would be gone.  I had never tried harvesting this seed before, so that was a learning experience, and now I now to take them at the more green stage.

Rick, I remember that you tried and appreciate your efforts! Hope you get some nice walks in the woods

There are some very nice Anemonella! I like those Wim!

As a noob i want to send a little pictures to you.

I have send them in the Epimedium threat before, but as i can hear, here is the right place.

First i want to show an Aconitum hemsleyanum 'Red Wine' (ready for climbing up to the sky :-) )


Next picture presents a Brunnera 'Jack Frost' which brings a little light into my shadow areas


Maybe this plant takes attention to you profis- Caulophyllum thalictroides ( nice leaves ,pretty bloom and a nice built)
I enjoy having this plant!!!


And for an end today , here comes Dicentra cucullaria in bloom


Have a nice eastern (even if you don´t want to have a greedy rabbit in your garden :-) )

Nice selection of plants!

Isn't it nice how even little bits of growth can bring such joy...

[RickR]

I mentioned elsewhere how it seems this season is giving deeper colors, despite the warm weather.  I have never seen the Cardamine laciniata with such deep lavender buds.  These are in the wild, near my house:

        

        

Open woods are not common in Minnesota.  Usually there is a lot of native underbrush.  The cardamine seems to thrive in these areas that get too dry to support summer growth.

Rick, I love that!

[RickR]

Dicentra cucullaria, in the wild not far from my house.  I have "decided" this is another species that can sit "dormant" for multiple years without showing above ground.  I know this area quite well, and this spring I am seeing at least four times as many plants as I have ever seen there before.  Plants are larger than ever before, too, with flower scapes up to 6 inches(!)

Possible reasons:
--- the ridiculously warmer than normal winter
--- the exceptionally dry late summer through winter
--- perfectly timed rainfall last spring during the Dutchman's Breeches' growth cycle

It's weird that our dry spring has not seemed to affect the plants...
