Silene or not?
I found this high up (3500m) in the mountains of eastern Turkey.
But what is it, any suggestions?
post an unknown plant and see if others can provide a name
Plant Identification
Erysimum 'Orange Flame'
Curious if anyone knows anything about the origins or possible species derivation of this pretty well established wallflower: it has been propagated and sold by various wholesale nurseries in recent years: it's been pretty long lived and long blooming for me and very showy (as you can see from the accompanying pix). I am quite fond of it, and wondered if it is allied to E. helveticum which it resembles a bit (only the latter is always yellow in my experience). It seems to be sterile: I've never found viable seed.
What's this?
As above-zero (celsius, that is) weather has brought the feeling of spring to this area, I was out having a look at the troughs that have melted out of this winter's rather high snowfall. When I post-holed through mid-calf depth snow out to the Opuntia trough, I noticed something I can't identify, nestled into the base of the Townsendia rothrockii. Does anyone recognize it?
My mystery Potentilla
I have one too Lori! Panayoti should know it as it was collected on Pike's Peak. 5-7 leaflets on a plant about 4-6" tall. I think it might be P. rubricaulis...any confirmation would be most appreciated.
Wyoming wildflower/alpine?
When viewing the Townsendia in the trough in Genera, Species, I scrambled to find a photo I’d taken September 1st 2008 in the Big Horns. At the time I wondered if the pretty blue flowers were a Townsendia species or Erigeron species. Not a great photo as it was the end of season and not much was in bloom plus the old digital camera!
Aster yunnanensis ?
Another mystery....grown as A. yunnanensis and I do believe it is indeed an Aster, but again I can find little info on this species. Looks like A. tongolensis to me....what do others think? Unfortunately I don't have a full plant pic so it may make ID confirmation difficult.
Aster himalaicus ?
I grew this plant from seed labeled Aster himalaicus. I cannot find much info about this species. I am not even convinced it is an Aster...I think its an Erigeron. The first pic was the first year it blooms (3 years ago), the second pic was taken last summer....it is getting pretty big.
Mystery Epimedium
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..
Unknown maybe Anthemis?
Anybody who knows this one? I pictured it at ca 3000m on Mt Suphan in eastern Turkeylast summer.
silene species needs identification
This plant germinated quickly from a package of NARGS seed labelled Frasera! I like it's simple style and colour and would like to offer seed.
