post an unknown plant and see if others can provide a name
I wonder if someone can give me a 'heads up' on the name of this Crocus which i raised from seed as a form of Crocus pallasii . :-\
I wonder in fact if it is C.oreocreticus ?.
Wonderfully coloured stem and striped feathering.
Long yellow anthers on short white filaments.
Deep colouring in the throat.
The flowers close at night.
Thanks .
Cheers
I have been growing this Dicentra sp. for years and never got it to flower. Last year various members of this Forum advised that I should feed, feed, and feed again. So I did and, .... success! of a kind.... 1 flower spike, ;D
I always had it as Dicentra cucullaria, but now I'm not so sure. As I really don't know anything about this Genus, can someone advise me please on its ID? TIA 8)
Can anyone ID these for me? I found them about 50 miles east of Arcata, CA near Burnt Ranch. Note the strong pink coloration.
The foliage looks like E. californicum.
A friend has this in her garden and lost the label. Cute little bugger.

Growing in moist soil on an east-facing hillside at roughly 4200 feet altitude.
Found growing happily, in alpine conditions. Note seed head, and glaucous foliage.
I've come to realize I've misidentified the plant in these photos. It's not Romanzoffia sitchensis, as I had imagined - there is a vague resemblance to the leaf shape but the inflorescence is wrong. The plant was found among talus boulders where it was wet from snowmelt in mid-August at about 2500m elevation in Bow Valley Wildland Provincial Park, eastern slope Rockies, Alberta. The pictures are poor but I've blown them up as much as possible to show the detail.
Does anybody know the name "box lily" used for a plant (or plant group) in Alstroemeriaceae?
I found this lovely, compact species growing in widely-scattered colonies in the Uinta Mountains, Uintah County, Utah, blooming on May 21, 2009. I was in the area of Brush Creek Canyon Overlook at an elevation of between 8,400 and 8,700 feet in large, open meadows ringed by aspen groves. I don't know if it is, indeed, an Oxytropis but it is definitely in Fabaceae. Can you help me put a name to my photos?
Got this one from the 2010/2011 seed exchange as 'Allium platycaule' - but it's not that. I'm afraid I didn't take very good close-up photos of the flowers, but the photos I did take are up at http://www.robsplants.com/plants/AlliuRGN . Any suggestions would be welcome.
