That is REALLY beautiful Darren. The black centre gives it such character and strength. Lovely golden yellow too. A stunner. 8)

This is my first to flower this year. It is the same clone which featured in the 2009 Northumberland Show report and is one of the results of my crossing the yellow & red forms. I did have a much better clone with an almost solid bronze/red reverse but it was soon lost. I'm pretty sure this isn't a viral effect in this case.


Saw it in real life this evening,it is wonderful,the colour is so rich.To say I was envious is an understatement!

Utterly disgusting. I thought he was a man of good taste yet talks of wanting to bring bulbs into the UK. Unbelievable!

Yuck!

With knobs on.

Just the kind of thing Glyphosate was invented for.

Lesley - interested that your cross with cortusifolius worked - I've not had any luck crossing asiaticus with anything else.  Please let us know what the flowers are like.

For the record I did once get seed from successful crossing of calandrinioides and gramineus the one year I had a late flower on one and an early flower on the other. The seedlings were intermediate in foliage & very vigorous but the flowers had no petals at all! Just a couple of little green stubs around the (sterile) reproductive bits.

Does anyone know if Anemone eranthoides and A. baissunensis can be grown outside and where?

A. eranthoides flowers very well stuck in a small pot. 5 flowers this year. Never sets seed.
