Mystery Epimedium

« on: February 21, 2010, 08:49:34 AM »

I usually bury the label of new acquisitions, but I've rummaged around the base of this one and couldn't find one. I suspect I got the plant from the Probst's--does anyone have a clue which of the ten million new epimediums this might be? It's probably a species since I'm basically a species kinda guy...would love it if I could figure it out since it seems to be a keeper...

Sorry I don't have a closer closeup. The flowers are quite tiny--maybe 6-8mm across..

Without doubt, this is Epimedium pubigerum. I have all three pubigerum forms offered by Garden Vision Epimediums, plus about 180 other "eppies" (a deep investment)... I'm nearly as possessed with these beauties as I am with Allium Grin
