My Eranthis hyemalis bloomed in January in the garden, and have finished flowering. I have several pots of seedlings, sown in 2001, sheltering in a cold frame. They have just come up again this week. This is the case of all the pots, even though the seeds came from a couple of sources, and would indicate that seedlings normally emerge much later than the mature plants. -- Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada maritime zone 8 cool mediterranean climate (dry summer, rainy winter - 68 cm annually) sandy soil
