Where are you from and where did you get the plant? To me, it looks like var. makasin. What are the measurements of the plant and flower? Ours won't be blooming for another 2 weeks!
Too cool!!!
Is that crocosmia on the right?
Wonderful flowers!!! Aquilegia at the background is very nice too
Var. parviflorum grows in Ontario. I've seen it blooming at the same time and in close proximity to var. pubescens. The two varieties are quite distinct. I presume that they have different pollinators because there are no intermediate looking ones that I've seen. The plant in the photo looks different from var. parviflorum and var. pubescens. I'm not familiar with makasin at all. Since others here think that it may be that, perhaps they're correct.Yeah, I'd say it is var. makasin. If you can find out where it originally came from, then you'd know for sure if it is var. makasin or var. parviflorum (I don't believe that var. parviflorum grows in Canada). var. pubescens is usually much larger.
Whew! for a minute there I thought you meant there were cyps growing wild in your yard!!!! Nice. [maybe v. parvi.?]
Is the purple in the photo lighter than in person? At least for the makasin in ny, the red color doesn't match. Usually they are a dark purple. Also the pouch looks fatter than what I've seen. Any chance of being a hybrid or are there others here from Canada who can verify that makasin looks like that up there?
