HemNorth said:Thank you for the correction of my submission into the Epimedium Sulphureum category. Thanks for catching the difference, AntMan01, and thanks to you, zuzu for changing it to the right place.

In looking up Epimedium x perralchicum 'Frohnleiten', which was in the Robson garden, I discovered another error of placement. I'll show the correct version (oh it was so light and airy, and I think I lost it) and the error.

Thanks for your attention to this one also, @zuzu


Regarding TreeHuggers photo of Epimedium x perralchicum 'Frohnleiten', it's impossible to tell if it is correct without seeing details of the foliage. The name Epimedium x perralchicum represents hybrids between perralderianum x pinnatum ssp. colchicum, these two species very similar, particularly in floral details. The selection 'Frohnleiten' is known for wavy-edged leaves and an intense bronze color overlay on green, with a strong pattern of green veins. Thus the photo cannot lead to a definite ID, but at least the flowers match that of pinnatum ssp. colchicum, perralderianum, or the hybrid of the two, x perralchicum.

AliKat's photo is Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum'. The obvious cue, is big central "cups" disqualify it from being pinnatum ssp. colchicum, perralderianum, and x perralchicum.
