Anemone biflora, JJA 160.303. This is the first bloom from seed :) :) :)
-
So cute ! ;)
-
This is for Otto,
I went this morning to the Western Negev where Anemone coronaria is at its peak time.
Some areas are covered with astonishing numbers and the scent is so strong to make you dizzy.
-
:o :o :o
Fabulous, Oron !
It won't be just Otto enjoying this !!
-
Wonderful sight.
-
Can only repeat - fabulous. Surprisingly uniform in colour.

How utterly amazing Oron.
-
From far distance it looks like poppy fields 8) Makes a great show!
A pity Anemone coronaria is not winter hard here.
-
A fantastic sight, Oron.
-
Tatsuo, what a rare and beautiful Anemone, My first anemone in flower, anemone raddeana, a Japanese species, Tatsuo you must know it.
-
Sorry Oron, only this very moment I came across your Anemone coronaria post. How I wish to be there myself to take in all that beauty. As you know this flower in this area is my very first childhood memory at the tender age of 3 . Thank you so much for this present . Otto.

Oron, what a spectacle!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
Tatsuo, what a rare and beautiful Anemone, My first anemone in flower, anemone raddeana, a Japanese species, Tatsuo you must know it.
Thank you Karl :) Yes, that is a Japanese native ;)
-
I'm afraid I can not compete with Orons images ;)
-
Gerhard,
very well photographed. 8) 8) 8)
Does A. coronaria survive outside with you or do you keep it frost free?
-
Not as exciting or as artistic as others being shown but a couple of mine.

All are in pots in the frost free glass house. I haven`t tried it here in zone 6b outside in the garden.

Anemone petiolulosa

FABULOUS Pictures! :o
Oron, I am speechless! :o
Gerhard and Tony I wonder if picture 3 and picture 1 do not show Anemone hortensis instead of Anemone coronaria.

Thanks Gerhard, continue to stay save with them and don't grow them outside :)

One from Mt Parnon in Greece
Anemone sp.

I have tried it a few times and it always dies
-
One from Mt Parnon in Greece
Anemone sp.
It looks as Anemone coronaria.
It isn't for outside here, but single dwarf form from Turkey collected by me in 2007, for the first time bloomed in 2010 and since that blooms every year and keeps its dwarf habitus.
Here picture of it from wild. Last spring I collected some on Crete, too but it seems that they are not coming up this spring.

Some more anemones from my collection
Anemone blanda form from N Caucasus, Enem vil. in Krasnodar district Russia. It is single locality of blanda in those territories which during Soviet time remained under Russian occupation (some still really are, as decolonisation of mid-XX-century didn't touched Russian Empire). It could be different as it has very different tubers - they are not rounded (club-like ?) as in Turkish blanda, but looks like small branches - elongated and sometimes branching.
Anemone caucasica is small version of blanda distributed in Caucasus. It hybridises with blanda and if you want keep clean stock, multiplying from seeds - you must keep both isolated during flowering.
Anemone blanda is very variable in colour. Unfortunately some very beautiful selections didn't alive in this horrible winter.
And as last one is Anemone biflora from Markezi in Iran - another one which brings bright red shade in dwarf Anemone collection, although more often are grown yellow forms of it.
-
Anemone biflora, JJA 160.303. This is the first bloom from seed :) :) :)
Tatsuo as we say here SNAP!!!!! ;)
I too sowed Archibald seed of this and it is flowering for the first time with me. Though not as compact as yours a nice surprise
-
Another first flower from society seed Anemone tshernjaewii
-
Some Anemone blanda - collection and a pair of selected clones, mostly I like this one with rounded flower. The first A. nemorosa in flower (in greenhouse) is 'Pentre Pink', although pink is only as bright pink zone on petals back.
-
Some more anemones, not so usual
Anemone raddeana
Anemone tschernjajevii from Jilek
Anemone baisunense from Tochal
Anemone petiolulosa ARJA-9763 - from Uzbekistan
-
Another first flower from society seed Anemone tshernjaewii
Likely from my seed donation Ian. Nice to see you having grown it on successfully - the flowers will be bigger next year. The parent potful has been in flower since November :o here. Last flowers are just fading.

That is an impressive flowering period. They must like your conditions, Darren. Remind me- are they simply under cold glass?
-
It is in a greenhouse where I keep the worst frost out for the sake of the South African bulbs (I have switched on the heater (set at 2C) on less than ten nights this winter). We do live in a fairly mild area and have miraculously had no snow at all this winter (and unbroken sunshine for most of the last 6 weeks). Just down the road in Chorley they got some major snow as Tony would tell you!
To be fair, the flowering period is extended largely because one clone in the pot routinely appears and flowers in November/December and the others catch up in late Jan or february as this one fades.
I suspect that out in the frame the autumn clone would still pop up in November but then there would be a gap before the normal spring ones appeared. I'm so far unsure. Happily I've several hundred seedlings growing on and hope to experiment with some of them in the bulb frame. My suspicion is that it will not be dry enough in the frame in our so-called summers!. I wonder if the autumn one has genetically lost the need for a cold period (or lengthening days) to start flowering?
The other species I grow (petiolulosa, biflora, baissunensis, verae etc) don't flower until March. Tschernjaewi is always the earliest, invariably too early for the shows, which is why I hope to try it in a plunged pot outdoors in winter to delay it a little and then move it under glass to dry off in summer.
-
Such differing clones is one of the delights of raising from seed, of course.
The problems of summer wet are some of our main concerns here. Just a matter of having cloche covers in summer for some delicate subjects as well as in winter ..... sigh!

I thought it might be you Thank you Darren ;)

Anemone nemorosa 'Robinsoniana' Very common but I find it a beautiful little plant. Not as many flowers this year though.
-
Is it not 'Robinsoniana', David?
-
Many thanks Roma, of course it is, fingers working in advance of brain again I'm afraid. I have edited my post.

Beautiful, Jan.

Spring anemones are in bloom here,
Anemone heldreichii x2
Anemone pavonina x2 (or is this fulgens?)
cheers
fermi
-
This is one of the Aemone pavonina from SRGC Seedex 2008 (I think); this pure red is a stunner and I'm hoping to get seed which is "pure" as there isn't another one close by at present,
cheers

Nice red Fermi.
