Podophyllum hexandrum (syn. Podophyllum emodi)
30 (50)cm, Himalayan Mayapple is native of humus rich, moist soils in woods in the Himalaya. Makes nice whitish rose to white flowers born with or slightly above the broadly dissected and serrated foliage, which gains an enormous size sufficient moisture provided in spring. Flowers are followed by most ornamental, goose-egg sized fruits (edible, yet not very tasty, and keep in mind that all other parts of the plant are toxic !), which turn bright orange red in July and August.
