Anemone 2015

[Tim Ingram]

We were given this deep pink Anemone nemorosa quite a few years ago by a customer. She found it in Westwell Woods near to Ashford so we named it 'Westwell Pink' and distributed it as that. So as far as know the name 'Kentish Pink' has been used as a synonym as this got out into wider circulation. Bob Brown at Cotswald Garden Flowers had quite a few plants from us and sold them as 'Westwell Pink' so I think it must have had a pretty wide distribution by now! The name should be 'Westwell Pink'.

Ever disappointed in a plants description?

Anemone nemerosa 'Pink Delight'

Actually, if that is really pink, I'd be delighted if I'd bred it - I don't know of any other pink double.

Many thanks for that Tim. If you are selling it and you will be at Exeter next Spring I'll have three please and I know a couple of blokes who would take at least a couple each.

More info from Taavi on 'Jümmers Fienrood':

information from Ingo Kaczmarek (Germany, Hamburg):
Anemone nem. 'Jümmers Fienrood' ( formerly named Schülper Moor).
So far as I know it is the best pink form from buds, opening and lasting
and
AND one further central importance is to keep rare plants spread around
as this is the case for 'Jümmers Fienrood'. This one was found by my
friend (who died 2 yearse ago) at Schleswig-Holstein. He kept it for
himself and gave my one rhizome. So I put a name on to it in the
regional spoken language 'lower german' Jümmers Fienrood means 'always
rosa/pink'. I am respecting wishes from friends/ or persons who gave me
nice plants if they do not want me to distribute them around as to
naming as well.

Please check the spelling - 'Jümmers Fienrood'! (jümmers (regional
germ.) = immer (germ.) = always, forever).

A few more of Taavi's yellows:

A few more, I won't try your patience with even more!
After the yellows, A. nemorosa 'Evelyn Meadows', and A. nemorosa 'Robinsoniana with Muscari.

I don´t remember if I have shown this hybrid, natural hybrid, before? ( talking about Anemone x lipsiensis = Anemone ranunculoides x nemorosa)


A nemorosa x trifolia
It is quite rare but does occur in Sweden. I was lucky finding a big individual in my friend´s cow pasture and could take a small piece of the rhizome. It is slow growing, opposite to the parents, so I can only divide it every two years or so to pass it on.

[Leena]

Very interesting, I also grow A.trifolia and A.nemorosa grows wild around our garden. How can you tell which are hybrids?

[Roma]

I like that 'Evelyn Meadows', Anne.  Is it widely available?

[annew]

Not sure, Roma - I listed it once, but it is very slow with me.

That is very interesting because yesterday I pollinated A trifolia with a blue A. nemorosa. Nice to know it might be a fertile cross.

Do you have a photo, Brian?

Photo at last, taken the other day.

Now more are flowering I can see most are A. ranunculoides, and just a few are what I assume is A. blanda. Did not notice the difference in roots when transferring. A few pots of A. ranunculoides semi-plena behind for comparison.
