Anemone 2015

[mark smyth]

stupidly I have them all in one pot 

[mark smyth]

Very pretty.

They are but they're small because I have way too many in one pot. How did the one do that you took home?

[Maritfri]

I have many great anemones in the garden but the one that pleases me most is the real Anemone nemorosa that grows wild with us. It is a real sign of spring?!

I think it may be, Marit! It was my late Mother's favourite wildflower so it is always special to me  and speaks of spring.

[Maritfri]

Hi Maggi

My mom feels the same way, so it's probably heritable

Now that I have more growth on these, and more flowers opening. I have had a closer look at one of the roots. Seems the deep pink flowers may all be on slender corms, (blanda?) and the rhizomes, or some of them, are ranunculoides. Hope there are only the 2 present, or it will be a bit of a pain to try and separate these. I noticed this deep pink form elsewhere in my garden now where I have planted other things. I actually removed the whole rock garden in this rescue so have the rocks (water worn limestone), plants and most of the soil, which is very gritty and better drained than my soil in general.

Anemone nemorosa 'Robinsoniana' now in flower.

[mark smyth]

I cant remember how many flowers this plant had last year but there are 15 this year. I only got it in 2013 when it was dormant

Anemone lipsiensis bracteata 'Stiby'
Anemone nemerosa 'Maret'

Do you have a photo, Brian?

Here Anemones are at their best now

1. Anemone appeninna 'Petrovac'
2. Anemone heldreichii - outside since 2 years
3. + 4. Anemone pavonina - from Macedonia (Repulic) and seems to be hardy outside
5. Anemone nemorosa - probably 'Hilda'

and

Anemone ranunculoides

I will try and get something before they go over. I suspect most of it will be ranunculoides now it is more advanced.
Are crosses between these 2 possible?

[mark smyth]

A. ranunculoides does cross with A. nemerosa

[annew]

Very pretty, Gerd.
Here are flowering some of Taavi Tuulik's Anemone ranunculoides finds from Estonia:
