Anemone 2015

[Maggi Young]

Wouldn't it be lovely to establish Linnaea borealis in the garden? Probably not for us in the dry south-east! A little more research in order

I think quite a lot of us would be ecstatic to be able to have  the exquisite Linnaea borealis in our gardens.  The only people I know with that pleasure are those with gardens very close to, and so benefitting from, its natural habitat and I think that isthe secret.

 I would love to be proved wrong by tales of others growing it  well in cultivation.

Emma T. found this Anemone nemoroasa  in a country churchyard - I've never seen one quite like this - has anyone any comments ?

[emma T]

Thanks Maggi.

The church yard is full of anemone blanda (just blue or white forms) and then there's this little one !

[annew]

Is it a blanda then, Emma?

[emma T]

I think it must be

I wonder what it will be like when fully open, and if it will do the same thing next year?

I have some anemones coming into flower now. Typical nemorosa flower but deep red with a hint of purple, dark reddish leaves, and a nemorosa type rhizome. This is a rescued plant from another garden. Can someone suggest a name.

I hope its at your house now?!
