« on: April 25, 2017, 12:29:25 PM »
Bought this plant the last trip to the Czech Republic conference. Last label in transit but was such a lovely plant until I killed it this winter. Can anyone identify it and a can replace it .

Could it be Anemone trullifolia?

Hi Matt,

I will look the name, really liked this wee plant. Sorry that picture wasn't the right way up/

Yes going and can't wait. Ian organised my flights and other things. I am hopeless with these sort of things and if I do anything myself like flights I worry all the time that I have done something wrong . Happy I have a friend like Ian to help. Look forward to seeing you there.  Hope its as good as the last conference.

I've turned Angie's photo. Beautiful plant - not A. trullifolia though, I don't think.  That is a a fine species but I think the one pictured is something else - should know - it may come to me.
Flowers are almost semi-double with those deep blue petals - and the foliage is more divided and less shiny  than trullifolia as I remember.

Yes that looks like it, Anemone obtusiloba big blue.. Thanks folks and thanks Maggi for turning the picture, not sure what I do wrong.

Will now be able to find myself another one or maybe two just incase I kill it again  :-X

I received the same plant (of Dutch origin) as Anemone species Himalaya - and came also
to the result that it was Anemone obtusiloba.
It was quite easy when grown outside.

Hopefully if I get a replacement I won't kill it again.
