At each pulsatilla I will tie a small sign with your name... so that I do not forget to collect the seeds for you. ;D

More species will follow later.
Title: Re: Pulsatilla 2019
Post by: kris on April 11, 2019, 01:55:01 AM: Thank you Thomas. It is very sweet of you.
I have about 6-7 different ones.
The ones I really want now is Pulsatilla patens , Pulsatilla vernalis and Pulsatilla tatewakii.
I have some seedlings from this P.patens and P.vernalis group . Hope to get flowers eventually.

It looks different from the one that grows wild here.
Today I went for a walk near the Saskatchewan river and I saw lots and lots of Pulsatilla patens flowering.

Thank you Gabriela - the hybrid was raised in the Alpine Staudengärtnerei/Rodeberg inThuringia and got its name after the owner Renate. The parentage was not fully known.

Rick I have a question for you

Here are two pictures from my garden. The first one I got the seeds as pulsatilla grands.
The second one I have no idea. Any Pulsatilla experts please identify for me.
1.Pulsatilla grandis.

The seed was was labeled P. flavescens. We've determined here that it is more likely a hybrid of the species. Nevertheless, I think it is a beauty! The pH is about 7. It grows to the south and outside the canopy of a white spruce in clay based, black soil. I sure the tree sucks up any excess moisture. I can even grow Iris suaveolens well there, as long as nothing encroaches on its sun.

Post by: Rick R. on April 24, 2019, 10:49:06 PM: Kris, regarding your second pic, Pulsatilla sp.: did you expect it to have a double flower?

Second year plants from your Allium pseudojaponicum seed are coming up now!

Title: Re: Pulsatilla 2019
Post by: Rick R. on April 30, 2019, 06:01:48 AM: Seed for this one came as Pulsatilla halleri, from Harold McBride. But it must be a hybrid (?) since the leaves come out at the same time as the flowers....

Really BIG flowers, too.

Title: Re: Pulsatilla 2019
Post by: Rick R. on April 30, 2019, 06:56:20 AM: The wild Pulsatilla patens here in Minnesota are like yours, Kris. Just a hint of lavender on the petal tops. I am told that there are dark forms (somewhere), but have never seen them myself. The ones in southern Manitoba are light colored like the ones I show here from southern Minnesota.

So this is a sand prairie, of mostly stabilized sand dunes. There are still a few active blowouts, and you can see a remnant in the center background in the first photo. The evergreens are Red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). This area is managed as a prairie, and is regularly burned as it would in nature.

Baptisia lactea from last year can break off and act like a tumbleweed.

Sorry for the late reply Rick. I somehow missed it.

Hope you get nice fall alliums from the seeds
