Erythroniums for days

“The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.” 
Friedrich Neitzsche


I got to visit the renowked plantswoman Diana Reeck this week to see her work on the Erythronium hybrid selections she has been developing. 
Diana Reeck Showing me the beds she is working on selecting through her various forms of the Walther Blohm hybrids 

Check out that beauty! I'm hoping she has another release to get on the market this year! Stay tuned. 
The weather has been all over the place this week, it was 80 degrees and blue skys and the next day it's 54 and pouring rain. But the nights do seem to be warmer now.

Cheers,
Mark

    Do you know if Diana is going to be selling her hybrids? I sure miss Collector's Nursery.

      Hi! Diana and I worked out a deal to wholesale some of her wonderful Erythroniums so I will have them for sale in the illahe catalog coming this summer. Collectors was always a wonderful thing to see at the plant sales!

      Best,
      Mark
