Pulsatilla 2018

As the pulsatilla season begins ( as we have seen in the UK from the appearance of some fine forms on the show benches, for instance, or posts like this....
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=16256.msg391446#msg391446
) a question comes from across the Atlantic about the ID of this plant .....
Looks to me like a semi-double P. halleri slavica - what do others think?

Hi Maggi,
I find pulsatilla very confusing and difficult to identify. I have a growing collection of various colours and forms which are probably mostly hybrids. The ones that I thought of when I saw the photo first was perhaps a semi double P. campanella? or maybe a Pulsatilla x papageno hybrid?

Aha! Semi double P. campanella is what Ian said!

Today we visited a site a Swedish friend recommended, where Pulsatilla vulgaris grows on a slope down to the Baltic Sea.

There was some range of colour, too.

Iīve never seen them coloured like this - the outer half of the flower was blue. I thought this might be due to some kind of disturbance, but there were similar plants on an inland site, too.

A light blue variant of the same pattern - unfortunately, the wind wasnīt helpful.

Obviously, those plants growing below the level the water occasionally reached donīt suffer.
