Very well named as the flowers are of just that mix of pale yellow with a tinge of green that characterises that most noxious of elements. However, there the similarity ends as the rest of this plant is lovely. The flowers come in a dense, arching spike with each berberis like flower hanging most gracefully. Towards the end of flowering the outer petals will sometimes stain pink. The effect is quite showy and refined. E.flavum x E.ogisuiLinks

Jean O'Neill has flowers in one of those colours that is quite unique. The flowers are generous in proportions and production, with each being topped by off white sepals, under which curve petals which shade from dunked rich tea biscuit brown to flesh coloured at their curved tips. Young leaves are suffused with a rich tan and they colour a lovely pinky-red in Autumn, still with the darker red speckles. Raised at Spinners by Peter Chapell from Epimedium davidii seed. Possibly a cross with Epimedium acuminatumLinks

Weihenstephan is a typical, but particularly stout form of E.perraldianum. The flowers are rich yellow formed of tiny brown tipped petals and broad rounded sepals. They face outward from upright spikes whilst the new leaves emerge pale yellow-green coloured with a mosaic of red. Shiny foliage forms weed smothering spreading mats.E. perraldianum grows naturally in mountain Oak and Cedar forests in Northern Algeria and North Africa. It is very similar to E.pinnatum subsp. Colchicum, differing mainly in numbers of leaflets and its notably spiny leaf margins. Subgenus RhizophyllumLinks

Cc 001764. A hybrid with elongated leaflets whose edges are corrugated and tipped with irregular spines pointing in all directions like Jaws himself. As if that wasn't fascinating enough in itself, the young leaves are an iridescent metallic bronze pink, maturing apple green and evergreen. The flowers are large, 4cm in diameter, with small sepals and curving narrow petals, pale lemon becoming richer coloured at the centre. Known in the US as Sphinx Twinkler. A collection by Darrell Probst not yet attributed to a species, possibly as yet undescribed.Links

The leaves open an attractive pale ochre-green, beautifully netted with russet tones, colouring well in Autumn (more coloured than 'Wisley' on both occasions). Flowers are like strings of glowing small bright yellow daffodils held upright and above the foliage. A German cultivar selected by Heinz Klose, it has slightly more pointed leaves with a more toothed margin and large flowers held well up. 45cm. Easily grown in any good soil. ( E.perraldianum x E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum ).Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Galadriel' is a form of E.x rubrum that is in essence more rubrum-y. The flowers are larger and more red, tending to lack the central yellow of the type. The Foliage is more robust and better ground cover as well. Altogether a fine variety, though why the name Galadriel was applied, she being the carrier of the white ring and usually portrayed in white is a bit of a mystery.Links

(E. grandiflorum x E. pinnatum subsp colchicum). This variety is very much along the same lines as its cousin Sulphureum, but a little paler and possibly more refined and even more like a diminutive Totnes Turbo. There is a little more contrast in the flower with paler inner sepals and slight ruddy shading to the tip of each petal. Foliage in Winter tends more towards the pinnatum parent and is largely evergreen. It is later in to flower than Sulphureum, so much so that they barely overlap. It has been in cultivation from before 1934, but has never achieved the popularity of Sulphureum. The young leaves are brownish.Links

Epimedium x warleyense ( Ellen Willmott ). E. alpinum x E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum. The upright stems of delicate coppery orange flowers set this hybrid apart from most epimediums. They are held well up above the foliage in a warm orange haze. The leaves are apple green in a mildly spreading clump that is a little less dense than most species. Height 20-40cm in flower. Originally sent from Warley Place, the Garden of Ellen Willmot, to Professor Stearn as E.perraldianum when he was writing his monograph. Subsequently identified and named by Professor Stearn. for any good soil in partial shade. spring.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks
