I have always meant to try Berry Exciting - the foliage/flower combo sounds interesting. Is it a nice plant? I've avoided c lutea, thought might be too weedy.
Here are my weird corydalises - I'm home from work, so I can post pix.
#1 is corydalis bulbosa. 3-yr old plant - seems to be thriving.
The rest of these are all new from last fall - handled winter fine. We'll see about humid St Louis summer.
#2 is c. ruksansii
#3 is c. nudicaulis
#4 is c. wendelboi ssp congesta
#5 is the one that sent me out in the dark last night & early dawn this morning to get a proper photo, c. shanginii ssp ainae.
That last one is a hoot! Hope it's tough & durable. We'll see.
