Pulsatilla albana ???
« on: May 02, 2016, 06:40:03 PM »
Hi,
I got the plants as seedlings of Pulsatilla albana. From my "normal" albana it differs (in my amateur eyes !!!) only by the flower color. Is there albana in this coloring? What have I?
thank you

i would say a Pulsatilla violacea type. to my mind Pulsatilla albana is a complex of more or less similar plants, native in caucasus. maybe we see the albana complex in a process of becoming new species. this is my personal point of view. taxonomists like to distinguish, so P. violacea is classified. see the violacea pictures in plantarium.ru...your plants look like the pics on page 2, last 2 pics in 1. row.

here another Pulsatilla violacea type in my garden, seed grown from seed of a violet(!) type of P. violacea, very close to this violacea type in plantarium.ru (foto was token in Karatschai-Tscherkessien, north caucasus). petal inside white, outside steelblue.
