    Possibly E.dolichostemon x E.leptorrhizum. A lovely introduction from Elizabeth Strangman with flowers in a gentle soft pink, very much like its parent E.leptorrhizum. However, each flower is neater and smaller and held in an elegant arching spray. The leaves can colour a rich ruby red in winter.

    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.ogisui

    In many ways similar to Epimedium wushanense, but a little smaller (despite being in a different series). The flowers have petals that curve downwards in a shade of pale translucent yellow, stronger towards the centre and on the very tip. They are carried in compound pyramidal inflorescences of up to 30 flowers. The leaves are fresh apple green, paler at first, eventually developing an overlay of red blotching. They are long and narrow with a quite spiky margin. Subgenus Epimedium, Section i, B Series - Davidianae

    Exceptionally wide flattish flowers. The sepals are reduced to a small white cross, 1cm across, which backs the yellow petals which themselves are long and curved a bit like a bright sulphur yellow hunting horn. where the colour intensifies in the tip of the petal it is not unlike the eye of a snail. The foliage is claret at first, later becoming green and developing purplish and coppery mottles and splashes with a lovely undulating spiny edge. Flowers are held on tall stems above the foliage. Quickly spreading rhizome. Subgenus Epimedium, Section i. Diphyllon, Series C. Dolichocerae

    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.
