Natalia, this A. ranunculoides was extraordinary! I have never seen them like that. Do they keep this leaf  colour when the flowers are fully open too?

Here are some A. ranunculoides from my garden:

Trond, you have beautiful anemones!  Particularly interesting form Gulveis.
 

 Unfortunately, my anemone foliage color lasts until flowering buds revealed - the color is like the others. Veins remain are slightly painted, but no more that...
In our forest I saw some interesting anemones, but yet was not engaged in selection of forms. I will try this year's search for something new:)

"Gulveis" is the Norwegian name of A. ranunculoides! I don't know if it has a cultivar name.

Trond, Thanks!
Did not know that it is a grade.

In the book of Janisa Rukshansa "Buried Treasures" there are photos of forms Anemone ranunculoides from islands of Estonia. Very interesting from different type Plena, to viridiflorus.
 So and in your woods probably there are interesting forms an anemone.

Anemone ranunculoides grows wild in Norway but far from here. Only the common windflower, A. nemorosa is common where I live, but Hepatica nobilis is commen where I have my summerhouse.

I have some coloured forms of A. nemorosa that have established themselves from seed in the garden. (1)
I also try to establish the cross between A. nemorosa and ranunculoides ( x lipsiensis) but these plants are still small. (2)

About as it is interesting!

From seeds ' Robinsoniana ' at you the more brightly painted form has turned out.
You have photos of other plants grown up of seeds?
 Do I understand correctly - it's your selections  of plants grown in a garden from hybrid seeds?

About А х lipsiensis = А х intermedia = А х seemannii I know, saw it, but here hybrids between it and other kinds - it is very interesting.

cohan, I can not promise, but it is possible to try to exchange seeds in the future season. If weather allows - this year some seeds were ruined by a heat... :(

Alberta forests are beautiful! :)

Natalia,
Nice Hepaticas!  Like the doubles.  Do they all grow in your zone 3 garden?  Are they protected during the winter in any way?  I have some H. Japonica growing in pots with some winter protection in my zone 5 garden.  I also have Japonica seedlings sown in 2009 and 2010.  I would like to put at least some of them in the ground eventually and interested to find out example cases growing in colder regions.

KK, they at us grow to the north of Moscow and to Karelian isthmus (it to the north of Sankt of Petersburg), so stability high enough. Winter well, these are wood plants of our northern woods.
 Hepatica japonica at my friends have successfully wintered in Ural Mountains around Ekaterinburg. Not all grades, but have wintered.
In my garden Hepatica japonica victims last year from mice, in a current of summer have germinated on roots. Young very small plants now get out.

Maggi, thanks! I am very pleased:)

 I am quite surprised at this survival near Ekaterinburg.... my vision of this place was VERY COLD!!
Sorry to hear that Russian mice as as big a nuisance as Scottish mice..... good news that root cuttings are surviving though  :)

Maggi, yes, there are great cold, but there is heavy snowfall. Under a snow blanket Hepatica bad winters. But the mouse ...:(
