Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A selection by Elizabeth Strangman of Washfield Nursery in England from a collection on Emeishan in Sichuan. This is more vigorous and a better grower than most other forms of Corydalis elata and the tall scented blue flowers are outstanding. Plants favored by Elizabeth Strangman we consider to be the Annointed Ones and we have always been safe in relinquishing the decisions involved in the weighing of pros and cons and just clicking "add to basket" whenever her name is appended to a plant. Nearly mythical. This differs from the the more familiar C. flexuosa in that it doesn't take a summer rest. We well remember seeing this growing near a small stream in the Balangshan in Sichuan in 2006 and the jolt of recognition was as electric as the blue of its flowers. Moist and shade.
