A picture of Cardamine glanduligera from the Rhododendron Valley in Gothenburg Botanic Garden. It certainly is spreading. The picture was taken in early april 2008.
Mark, Thanks for pointing that out.I bought it from an alpine plant nursery in Germany (here's the link: https://www.alpine-peters.de/shop/). At the left, you can see a link to the Anemonella's they sell. If you look at the picture of the flower of what they are selling as 'Green Hurricane', it looks as if it is 'Jade Feather' and if you click on the picture, you get a bigger picture of something that looks like a different plant (?). Maybe the staminoids get longer as the flower matures and it is 'Jade Feather' after all? What do you think?I have 'Betty Blake' also, but she's just popping up from under the soil.

In their enlarged photo, and in your photo of a newly emerging plant, I don't think the staminodes have expanded yet. Post a photo again in a couple weeks to show us what the mature flower looks like. I still wonder where the name 'Green Hurricane' came from, and I wonder too, what was the first name under which this cultivar was published, thus the authentic name. All I know is, the plant as first released and distributed, was indeed named 'Jade Feather'. At any rate, enjoy the plant, it is certainly different than most A. thalictroides cultivars.
We have never seen Anemone blanda out in the open in Greece, where it always seems to be hiding under something. So when we lost one lot of them here to voles/mice, we took the hint and planted them under summat!

Thanks Mark,I'll post a picture again when the flowers are fully developed. Anyhow, it's a very nice plant indeed.

Anyhow, it's a very nice plant indeed.Wim, another wrinkle in the schizophrenic identity of Anemonella thalictroides 'Jade Feather'. I checked my plant today, and on the label I added the names of the other alternative cultivar names, and I had forgotten that I bought this one 'Just Precious'! So at last count, the plant that should be 'Jade Feather' can also be found under 'Green Hurricane', 'Green Dragon', and 'Just Precious' You'll see in my photograph one of the problems, the tiny tubers like to pull themselves clear of the soil, easy snacks for squirrels and chipmunks. My plant is fairly old, but still a wisp of a plant, because of the constant predation. I have a friend that grows swathes of Anemonella, but she has lots of cats that patrol the garden and nursery beds.
