Carsten P. Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 perhaps the pictures of Olivier Tschuy can help as well? http://www.firstiwasblind.ch/oli/enlarge.p...picture_id=4451 http://www.firstiwasblind.ch/oli/enlarge.p...picture_id=3423 http://www.firstiwasblind.ch/oli/enlarge.p...picture_id=3422 http://www.firstiwasblind.ch/oli/enlarge.p...picture_id=3421 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I can not see B2, but I would put E2 into the D. (aff) tubaestylis category. The Brookton form is very red (deep maroon, actually), but has longer leaves. However, I can check my older pictures of smaller plants what they looked like. This will have to wait until next week, however. None of my other plants from that group has such a red colour which your plant has. I should also have pictures of quite a few tubers. If you need anything, it may be an idea to contact me directly via email. Cheers Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altair Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) thanks for all the replies. I already grow D. tubaestylis and it has light pink tubers [photo tubers] [photo plant] so I don't think it's D. tubaestylis. B2 may be D. aff tubaestylis if the tuber color is right, in fact this plant tends to form clumps. E2 I don't have any idea. It's very similar to B2 but the tuber is different and the leaves are more rounded. I don't think it's a macrophylla ssp because the leaves are too rounded and my plant has no visible petiole.

Altair Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 this plant is not completely opened yet but I think it's easy anyway. I say D. erythrorhyza ssp erythrorhyza. I don't think it's collina because the tuber looks more like the typical form. I will wait the full growth for confirmation. Am I right?

Altair Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 New one: Tubers looks exactly like D. peltata but the plant is more like zigzagia. I have no idea of what it is! Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Spence Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Probably D. menziesii ssp. menziesii. Bit young to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altair Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 thanks for the reply! We will see next year when they will flower but I think your id is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
