Very like this one selection from near Akseki in Turkey with nice delicate blue very rounded flowers. I think worth to keep and increase as cultivar.

A agree Gail. Almost heavenly. :)

Close relative to A. blanda - Anemone caucasica - white form from Georgia, blue from Armenia.

both exquisite! the blue is wonderful, but the dark foliage on the white is just as beautiful!

A very pretty little plant that I've grown for abt 20 years. But the operative word is "little" — it's a plant so small that it's hard to site effectively in the garden, rather like the problems posed by Acis autumnalis and Trillium rivale. Probably the best strategy is to work up a considerable stock and make a mass planting.
Mine are all blue, imported from Czechoslovakia abt 1990 by Vera Peck in Vancouver. Seedlings are slow to reach flowering size, but may be like eranthis: the seedlings hate pot culture, but once they are planted out, they come into flower within very few years.

Another relative - Anemone altaica flowers earlier than others. The picture is not very conspicuous, sorry

this one also looks like a very desirable species, especially being early; i have not paid too much attention to anemones on seedlists, next year i will have to keep these names in mind...
