Yijiawang,

Wonderful, wonderful photographs... a delight to see them...many thanks for posting them on the forum.

Question: what is the tree/shrub in the photograph before the pulsatilla (I think) seedheads?

Anemone aconitifolium is also in full flower here in the garden. It grows very well here.

Looking forward to more of your photographs.

Paddy

to Ellen and Dan, there is Paris verticillata in Beijing only, dark leaves can not be sure it is jarless, because it is broken when I find it.

to Paddy Tobin, thank you, it is Schisartdra chirtensis belong to Magnoliales，a climber, so it's flower looks like a little Magnolia flower.the Anemone maybe named Anemone narcissiflora,back of petal is blue.

What a mouthwatering collection.  I can't even hazard a guess at what some of them are.  Wonderful, thank you.

What a wonderful collection of plants and just about all new to me. Thank you so much for sharing them Yijiawang. I hope you'll add many more over time.

In the last batch of 10, what is the bright red flower? Is it a Primula? and if so, which is it?

[Susan Band]

Lesley, the primula is Primula maximowiczii. It has been available most years lately on the SRGC seed exchange and is appearing at the shows both on the benches and sales tables. I am growing it for commercial seed so it will prob. be more generally in the trade in a few years. It is relatively easy to grow if you can grow other primulas and flowers at the same time as Prim rosea. Sometimes it can be slightly duller but most of the time it is that brilliant red.
