Anemonella thalictroides

[Anne Repnow]

Interesting question... Are the whole anthers of your plant green, Anne? Because my white double has green .... what do you call the bits where the pollen sits? (Photo 1) But as the pollen ripens they become yellow. Have you got a photo of your plant?

Photo 2 shows another cultivar: 'Cameo' in light pink

I have a photo somewhere... It is probably like yours, the pollen would be yellow.

Lovely pictures folks, you obviously have the conditions to suit these little beauties Bolinopsis. I would like to give them a try but I struggle with Anemone nemorosa here and the only one that I have established has been 'Robinsoniana. I've bought a number of others with no success at all.

My recollection is that the blue forms were more common in the wild is the south west, but don't remember where I got this information.

Patrick, that is early!

Yes, twice For the last two years I've bought a small selection together with my bulb orders and for some reason none of them have made it. They were planted in the shadiest part of my garden, north facing(ish) in a peaty, always moist soil. Think I must be fated?

That's funny - A. nemorosa grows wild in Devon and does very well for me here in N Wales which is if anything wetter! I don't think it would really like peat though - wild populations are generally in leafy soil, often slightly alkaline. I don't think shade is all that important, just give them sun or dappled shade, and well drained soil. They look great with primroses or Erythronium.

I was so young then!

Anemone nemoroasa types do well here in Aberdeen - but  forms of Anemonella thalictroides are  a different matter- very easy  to lose  them.

Maggi, what do you think, why du you loose tem? Too wet in winter?

Anemonella thalictroides Shiozaki flowering for the first time for me.  Don't think I'll risk this in the garden.

Could be - or even too wet in summer.  Perhaps it's time to try again.

[Rick R.]

Could be both, too wet winter and too wet summer.  In the wild here, they grow in leaf duff (doesn't seem to matter what kind of deciduous trees), but are pretty tolerant of heavier soil if drainage is good.  In the wild they  go summer dormant, but in the garden with ample moisture they may stay active for most the summer.
