Anemone 2009

Blue Eyes is rampant here on a raised bed and flowers very well. It's in full sun, but the bed is watered in dry weather in the summer.

With blue centres and all I assume?

Of course, Gote! A very interesting A sylvestris, Wolfgang. Is it as invasive as the single?

[Paul T]

Lovely Sylvestris.  Anne, I managed to kill the single!

I had to dismantle part of a bed because it was in the middle of everything else at a rate of knots.

Are your's on sand Anne? I got ? 'Macrantha' from a lad in Germany a bit back. Lovely big rounded flowers, and sticks in a clump. I'm on 'improved' clay.

It is reasonably light soil on that bed. A clumping form would be good, because it is a lovely thing in flower.

I think there is a lot of confusion regarding the names A. nemorosa 'Bracteata' and 'Monstrosa'. New clones are found now and then (or names or labels lost) and then routinely named any of these names, or something similar. I have proposed to use Bracteata Group and/or Monstrosa Group when you are unsure of the clone name. What are your opinion of this? Is it possible to define the differece between Monstrosa- and Bracteata- forms?
Regarding double forms of Anemone ranunculoides I found a nice form a couple of years ago, and namned it 'Lina' after the place whete it was found.

[Paul T]

Very nice flower, Owe.  Excellent form.

Welcome to the forum.  Great to have you with us.

[Maggi Young]

Welcome, Owe!
I think your suggestions re; naming of double forms is most sensible. when a name is not  fully known,  following your idea would save a lot of confusion.

The 'Lina' form you have found is very bright and pretty.

Regarding double forms of Anemone ranunculoides I found a nice form a couple of years ago, and named it 'Lina' after the place whete it was found.

Very nice, indeed!

"Yellow Vestal" would have been a good name, as it closely resembles Anemone nemorosa 'Vestal'.

Have you given this to nurserymen for wider distribution? It is an extremely worthy addition to the double anemones. The other double forms of A. ranunculoides I am familiar with are, frankly, disapointments.

[annew]

It is a beauty, Owe, and would be, I am sure, much in demand were it offered by a nursery.
