Here is Pulsatilla vulgaris looking pretty good, and Anemone hortensis heldreichii which has been in flower for a month now.
Everything is growing away like mad now, why isn't the winter long enough to do all the winter jobs  ???
Jo - Anemone hortensis heldreichii is really beautiful. Unfortunately, like a lot of 'bulbous' anemones, it doesn't seem to be commercially available at present.
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

I'm beginning to think you have a particular fondness for these plants.

Ian,

Many thanks, Paddy

I can only second this!

Ian, I presume the Adonis sounds as coming from Greece??

Pteridophyllum racemosum.
Do you mean this plant is hardy? I grow it in a green-house (max. -10°C).

Hans, it has survived our winter this year (- 15°C) so I guess it's really hardy.
