And unexpectedly, my first seedlings will flower this year. They were all started in 2004, and the old fashion way: planted in spring, so they didn't emerge until spring of 2005.

Of course, it would be foolish to allow these plants to complete their bloom when so small. But the martagon var. album will bloom so I can see if that is what it actually is. And same with the L. tsingtauense (at right). More common in the trade is L. miquelianum, masquerading as L. tsingtauense. But the foliage still shows variegation, a good sign, as that also points to a tsingtauense identity.
