Corydalis, il piccolo tesoro floreale dalle montagne d’Europa alle Alpi italiane Il Corydalis è un genere di piante erbacee che incanta con i suoi fiori a “sperone”, delicati e spesso paragonati alle orchidee selvatiche. Queste piccole piante tuberose, alte meno di 50 cm, si distinguono per un portamento che può essere eretto o prostrato, con foglie di forme varie e un'infiorescenza che spazia dal giallo al bianco e rosa porporino, fino a sorprendenti tonalità blu in alcune zone del mondo. Diffuso soprattutto nell’emisfero settentrionale, il Corydalis cresce spontaneo tra le Alpi e gli Appennini italiani, regalandoci visioni di raffinata bellezza naturale. La sua presenza discreta ma ricercata è valorizzata da una struttura semplice o ramificata e da radici che si sviluppano da bulbo o rizoma, caratteristiche che contribuiscono alla sua longevità e adattabilità.

(Probably C. cava. They briefly bloom in early spring in our little forests.)

Yellow Corydalis blooming in a pebble path. It self seeded in this spot and grows carefree.

🌱🌿 Bloom where you’re planted; or where you end up!
My corydalis self seeds everywhere and can appear anywhere. Looks delicate but is tough, this one gets zero care. #bloomscrolling #flower #corydalis #yellow

Oh, and apparently #Corydalis, #Fumaria et al. has been moved from the #Fumariaceae family to the
#Fumarioideae subfamily in the #Papaveraceae family:

#エゾキケマン 【北海道札幌市】5月下旬

黄色のケマンソウ！　あまり見かけたことがないので出会えてラッキーでした。名前を調べてみたのですが、エゾキケマンかな。数が少ないのか、タイミングがシビアなのか、この後はまだ出会えていません。マルハナバチの仲間が来ていました。

#Corydalis speciosa Maxim.

#エゾエンゴサク 【北海道襟裳岬】5月下旬

少し木陰になるような林床で咲く花というイメージがあったので、日当たりの良い、塩気のある風が吹きすさぶような場所に生えていることに違和感がありました。草丈低いし、茎も太いし、エゾエンゴサクに似た別種の海浜植物、たとえばイソエンゴサクみたいな植物があるのでは？と調べてみたけれど、特に無いんですね。素直にエゾエンゴサクで良いみたいです。

#Corydalis ambigua

Corydalis flexuosa ‘Porcelain Blue’.

Beautiful true blue flowers with a faint aroma seen here catching the morning sunlight. I can’t say they are attracting any pollinators, but they also aren’t attracting any pests.

A tiny drip of water at the tip of a leaf brings the world into focus.

This tiny drop of dew was on the tip of a Corydalis leaf,. You can see an image of the flower focused by the drop.

Corydalis vivipara stock is starting to recover after being decimated by voles the winter before last. Hopefully some to sell again next year!

#ヤマエンゴサク 【長野県千曲市】3月上旬

エゾエンゴサクと似ていますが、違う植物らしいです。エゾエンゴサク同様、山野草にしてはカラーバリエーション豊富です。ただ色が薄いような……？　このあたりのヤマエンゴサクの特徴なのか、ヤマエンゴサク全体の傾向なのかは不明。エゾエンゴサクとの見分けポイントは、花のすぐ下にある葉の形状だと教わったのですが、この写真を撮った当時は知らなかったので、全然注目していませんでした！　またいつか、ヤマエンゴサクを見る機会があるといいな。

What are your experiences using #corydalis #yanhusuo? What was the most effective media of it - rhizome, root, powder, tincture, etc? #tcm #herbalism

My Albino cories 😊 #Spawn mode #spawning #corydalis #albino

Getting ~500 bulbs in the ground this weekend! It gives me so much hope for spring. I’m planting mostly daffs but also some fritillaria, pops of color with tulips, and corydalis.
