Hi Wim! This cultiver is one of the newest and was released last autumn so I'm just watching

[hadacekf]

I cultivate this Adonis amurensis 40 years at the same place. It is my bulb bed. The soil in the bed is limy clay. The same as I have in my garden.

Hi YT, that's nice.

If it get's whiter, would you be so kind as to show us another picture, please?

Thanks to Franz and YT for the beautiful pictures of Adonis, we must wait a little longer before we get to see more of our in flower, we will get snow and freezing weather for a while.

Thanks Tatsuo, that fading to white is a beauty.

Photographing Adonis vernalis in the wild I noticed that there is some variation among the plants.
But usually only the shape of the petals or of the whole flower is variable, not the colour.
Does anyone know of any Adonis vernalis cultivars? Any colour variants?
Here is a small collage of the plants growing wild here near Cluj, Romania.

very nice Razvan.

The RHS Plant Finder lists no cultivars of A. vernalis. You could be the first!

[razvan chisu]

yes I also had a look at the online plant finder and did not find anything. nor on google, or google books.
i guess there is no adonis monograph.
so, how does one go about naming cultivars? are there rules just like in naming new species?
