I’ve gradually been adding more species of corydalis to our garden. Starting with the commoner, more widely available types, I’m now slowly branching out into some of the lesser known and grown species. To my surprise and delight, I’ve found many of them hardy and rapid growers; maybe I won’t be so happy if some of them turn out like Corydalis lutea, which has designs on taking over the whole garden. This is a more demure species, Corydalis paschei, with pale lilac pink flowers. In nature it apparently is only found in a couple of locations in SW Turkey, but it seems right at home in our garden.
