Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Matt | Apr 04, 2010 | Rob, this looks like Stylophorum lasiocarpum, the Chinese celandine poppy. S. diphyllum, which is native to portions of eastern North America, has more rounded leaf lobes, somewhat larger flowers, stockier seedpods, a fuller growth habit and tends to be longer lived.
Sure looks like you're right. I'm changing the page accordingly (see new page) - thanks! |
- Seed from '08 trade. Baggy 35F (67d) - 70F (50%G, 3-8d)
