Title: Pulsatilla 2020
Post by: Pauli on March 06, 2020, 07:44:52 AM: Yesterday I had my pilgrimage to Wachau-Dürnstein, both for Pulsatillas and excellent wine!
I found quite a lot of flowers, but a week later would have been better, especially for the P. nigricans.
Frist pictures are P. grandis with the famous church and castle of Dürnstein in the background.

Title: Re: Pulsatilla 2020
Post by: Pauli on March 06, 2020, 05:33:36 PM: These are protected areas.
They go around with sheep in early summer, when the seed of the Pulsatillas has been dispersed.

I don't know about the wine but the Pulsatillas were worth the trip!

Post by: ruweiss on March 07, 2020, 07:40:18 PM: Herbert, the Pulsatillas are great, are there also Iris pumila
in this region?
Title: Re: Pulsatilla 2020
Post by: Pauli on March 08, 2020, 05:42:52 AM: Rudi, there are no pumilas in the Wachau.
They start to the east and south of Vienna. Thenauriegel is a very famous location, as is Lange Lacke and the area around Hainburg. Usually they start blooming at the beginning of April - but after that "winter"?

Post by: Pauli on March 28, 2020, 04:03:10 PM: Pulsatilla "Pink Dream", bred bei Fritz Kummert - mostly grandis with a little styriaca. Comes rather true from seed!

Post by: David Nicholson on April 02, 2020, 03:44:20 PM: These Pulsatilla have been in my garden for a few years now and I can't, for the life of me, remember what they are? Can anyone help me please?

A seed raised pasque flower obtained as P. grandis - unfortunately it looks as if the bees have been at work! It's pretty enough I suppose but for me nothing beats the natural colours of the wild type.

Pulsatilla styriaca -probably a hybrid, the flower is past its best.

1. Pulsatilla - a cultivar with darker Flowers
2. Pulsatilla x albana 'Renate' - selected from Alpina in Rodeberg/Thuringia
3. Pulsatilla grandis from Puchberg - not sure if this this the original form

Post by: Tristan_He on April 21, 2020, 11:31:27 PM: Pulsatilla / Anemone alpina. From seed collected in Slovenia so presumably subsp. austroalpina but I haven't tried to key it out yet. This is the first year it has flowered. It's not very big - only the same size as Anemone nemorosa.

Pulsatilla campanella. Not the showiest, but it has its own quiet beauty.

Title: Re: Pulsatilla 2020
Post by: Graham Catlow on May 20, 2020, 06:41:40 PM: Pulsatilla rubra has flowered for threes years now but previous years were very disappointing with small flowers, downward facing heads and not really opening fully. So disappointing I was wondering why I was growing them. This year however I am very pleased with the outcome.
