Title: Anemone 2016
Post by: WimB on March 27, 2016, 05:16:20 PM
For me the most wonderful and beautiful Anemone blanda cultivar. Dark blue on the back, a clear white inside and the white turns greyish in full sun bc of the blue shining through.

Anemone blanda 'Akseki'

Some of the fabulous double Anemone ranunculoides varieties found by Taavi Tuulik in Estonia are beginning to flower: Ellen, Prinz Eugen, Roosi, Star 1, and Taavi's Double.

I've been growing Anemone nemorosa 'Bracteata' for many years.  This year the patch has the expected flower forms, some with single flowers way above the green and white frills, and some plain singles.

Prinz Eugen, is not in fact one of Taavi's finds, but comes from Vienna.

Over here the blue forms of A.nemorosa come up and flower about two weeks later than our native white plants, or white cultivars which I have bought.

Some Anemone nemorosa still blooming.
Anemone nemorosa ' Hilda'
Anemone nemorosa 'Allenii'
A self sown seedling beside A. 'Allenii'  -  the flowers are quite small but it is a nice shape  I like it ;D
Anemone nemorosa 'Evelyn Meadows',  a gift last year ( thanks Olive Mason).  It has not turned pink yet.  The outside was quite red before it opened.

Roma's post just reminded me here's Anemone nemorosa 'Robinsoniana' today. A. 'Vestal' appears to have gone to the great garden in the sky but has been replaced by a couple of replacements I picked up from Plantsman's Preference in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago.

You could have had some of mine David, I have masses of it!

This started in a seed packet labelled "Pulsatilla occidentalis" but of course it wasn't (are you looking Chris Boulby?). On it's first flowering Tim Ingram ID'd it for me as Anemone multifida. I got concerned though about the red markings on the outsides of the sepals and this led to Lori Skulskie (forgive me if I've spelt that wrongly Lori) doing some research and she came up with Anemone tetonensis (Porter ex Britton).

So here it is:-

More flowers now open on Anemone coronaria.
These were grown from seed from Goteborg from seed collected in Iraq. They are been either white or purple but in the background you can see one that is an amethyst colour,
