Wallaby, the 4 types of Corydalis I got are;
Corydalis anthriscifolia
Corydalis buschii
Corydalis squilegioides
Corydalis 'Kingfisher'; a hybrid from C.cashmeriana and C.flexuosa.
In fact I bought all the types they had!
They were more specialised in Hellebores and Epimedium.
Luckily for me most Hellebores were past their peak performance,lol, so I was not tempted to buy more of them!

Corydalis buschii is not blooming yet, but according to their catalogue it blooms with pink-purple flowers and reaches a height of 20 cm. It goes dormant in summer. It has the normal Corydalis foliage.

Corydalis anthriscifolia is not blooming yet either but has a different looking foliage. It will bloom with purple flowers. The joung foliage has a bronze hue and a reddish rim that gradually fades out.
