Dancing oaks was a fun place to visit. That shipping is crazy!!!!

Fraser Thimble Farms in Canada appears to have Spotty Dotty.

i have a lot of them ready that are now 2 years old and looking good
will take some picts and post

I have bought spotty dotty, seems it's in production again. I would be interesting in what you have. You a have a beautiful garden under the redwoods.

Also hope to see what you have.

my Spotty Dotty started spreading a cpl years ago
i should have taken picts of the little guys coming up as far away as 3 & 4 ft
even in the middle of my walkway so i took a bunch of them and potted them up
here they are after a cpl of years in pots

here is the (mother ?) plant 2 days ago
notice there are some new babys around it



i have put a cpl of blooming SpottyDottys with the Kaleidescope hoping to get some crosses
i get self seeds on Spotty Dotty and Kaleidescopes but they are not viable

tho they are related Spotty Dotty & Kaleidescope have some differences
the most obvious is the shape of the leaves




the 2nd obvious is the location of the flower
on Spotty the flower is half way up one of the stems
on Kaleidescope it is at the leaf junction on one stem

Great picture Dick. hope mine do as well. They seem very happy so far.

happy to hear Bob
just remember they like moist, do not let them dry out
and they are most happy in the ground

The area I have them just about never gets dry, so they should really like it. More worried if they are as cold hardy as advertised.

they will drop during the winter cold and the dead stems & leafs will look yucky
but come spring it all starts again
and the new buds or what ever they are called are so cute to watch coming up
notice the dead stems laying below the new growth

Here are my native ones that have spread nicely this year they behave the same way.

reading on the Scottish Rock Garden forum

the people in the UK who raise and hybridize a lot of the Podophyllum
are finding that Peltatum is giving a mayapple rust to the Chinese podophyllum
see post # 49
so be careful and keep them separate from each other

They are about 30 feet apart in 2 different gardens , I hope that is enough. Thanks for the info.

Oh man! Makes me wish I lived in zone 6!

Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum)
The native ones can be grown in zone 4

the baby Spotty Dotty's are starting to come up again












the ones i put back out in the garden seem to be a little further on tho not much

They look great, still under snow and ice here so have to wait a bit longer.

i sure would like to see what yours look like after snow
take picts
