Wonderful pictures Fred - plants always look so much better in their natural environment.

It's curious that while the florist's strains of  'Mediterranean' anemones (St Brigid, De Caen, & St Bavo) still seem available in the trade some of the others, very common a number of years ago, seem to have disappeared entirely. I'm thinking in particular of the brilliant scarlet A. fulgens (a supposed hybrid), especially in its handsome 'Multipetala' form.  I would love to see this again though I never found it easy to keep.
