It is Anemone biflora - a wonderful red flower

[SueG]

Thanks for the anemone correction - couldn't read my own writing! It certainly was a great colour and I just missed out on getting my hands on the plants on the members sale table - will have to keep a look out for it, made a change from the pinks and mauves.

the Narcissus yepesii is a new name to me. Looks to be rather a tall creature..... anyone know about it?



Diane: I must warn you, since you posted your new avatar I am finding you devilishly attractive

Diane I preferred you when you were treacle - with custard and ice cream of course

Sue, are you sure you "missed out" on Anemone biflora plants on the plant stall?  It's rather uncommon and more than a little tricky in most cases...... not the sort of gem that one usually finds on sale!!

Yep, it's my plant.   I grew it from seed from John Blanchard sown in 2003.  John collected the seed from the type locality of Sierra de Segura, Jaen province, Andalucia, Spain, it in seasonally wet ground by a stream in a level valley. Its about 20cm high, smallish flower for its height.  It flowered for the first time last year with one flower, now with one twin flowered spike and one more on its way.

Oh look, we talked about it last year

So we did, Diane.... shows what a useless piece of tired sponge my brain is.... I had no recollection of that at all.

Nor I, till I stuck it in a search engine and it was the first reference that came up.

Treacle sponge, I hope

Yes, pretty certain - they were smaller plants but quite distinctive - and while I'm hopeless at remembering names of people, plants etc I'm usually OK on what things/people look like. 
There were one or two little tricky things on the members plant table and I added a Townsendia to my collection of things to kill!

Diane your avatar (new word to me) does resemble your pudding but there isn't enough custard round it. As I recall we said it was rather reminiscent of that island that suddenly emerged some years ago.
