Here my section from Anemone blanda which I named for my wife - 'Gunite'
Janis
-
Beautiful Janis! Is it a good spreader?
So lovely to have such a beauty to name for your wife....
-
That's a wonderful Anemone, Janis.
Your wife must be very happy to have such a beautiful plant named for her.
-
Hello Janis ,
what a funny pure chance !
I have just taken a pic from a A.blanda found by me on a trip in Turkey 2004 ...it looks very similar like yours ;D
Maybe I should name it after my wife "Barbara" ?
Regards
Hans

Janis and Hans,
Presuming the flowers reflect the ladies in your lives, I must say you are married to two beautiful ladies.
Paddy

Both are real stunning beauties :o :o :o
-
YT,
I hope you, your family and friends are all well in Japan. We have very frequent updates here on our television news programmes so realise what a terrible event you have experienced.

Paddy, thank you very much for your warm-hearted message. I’m so sorry for so many victims and serious accidents by the earthquake. Fortunately my place is relatively far from the disaster area and my family and friends are all OK so far. Even in such a difficult situation, spring is coming here same as usual and this forum makes me comfort ;)

I am not planning to name this after anyone.

How very restrained of you Gerry. Well done. :D

I try to avoid growing of common cultivars but Anemone blanda RADAR is so spectacular, that I'm keeping few tubers.
Anemone blanda aff. from Enem comes from very isolated population in NW Caucasus, far from other blanda's separated by dwarf Anemone caucasica. I suppose it is different species (or at least subspecies) as it have tubers of very different shape - they are long, resembles small black branches.
Janis

here two A.appenina from me :
Anemone appenina ex Umbria
Anemone appenina double form from y nice plantfriend ;)

Anemone x seemannii
(or Anemone x seehmannii or Anemone lipsiensis)
-
A beautiful double, Hans. Gerry, that has been one of my favourite anemones since I fell in love with it a long time ago.
-
Mine too Anne.
-
Anemone nemorosa robinsoniana with it's yearly display.

Very nice Luc. Mine are just coming into flower but not as impressive as yours.

Phantastic! Only one problem - I really don't like leaves on the first picture. I don't know what it is, I have such leaves (only partly) on some of my Anemone nemorosa, They very resembles some fungal infection, making sporas on leaf underside. Usually in pot comes out few such larger leaves and others are normal. I allways try to destroy the specimens with such leaves. May be it is nothing special and I'm too suspicious. May be some one is more clever?
Janis
-
I had a look
but the leaves look a little similar
as in Anemone nemorosa bracteata just less nice
the fungus leaves are much thicker
these are thin as normal A. blanda leaves
I just pollinated the two with each others
hope there will be more nice ones in the future
these where the only two plants
in-between the ten-thousands blue ones
The killer-cat is our dangerous guardian

Roland i hope you are to get a good quantity going so we all could get them in are gardens.Very nice.
-
have you seen these Anemones?

-
I just had a look
Fantastic
Roland
-
I hope they come true from seed :)
but I am afraid that it will be cutting
every two years :(
It would be nicer if they multiply fast
then madam de Curel (Murielle) can baptise the Anemone
Roland
-
Roland, your 'Murielle' is breathtaking!
Some anemones flowering here now:
Anemone nemerosa 'Vestal'
and Anemone oppositifolia 'Yellow'
-
Anemone obtusiloba "Pradesh" - reminding me of a wonderful visit to Ian Christie's nursery last year.
Very interesting to see how the flower changes, during 3 consecutive days and becomes more beautiful every day :D.

Wonderful plant, Luc!

Harold McBride has been breeding some stunning plants by crossing trulifolia and oppositifolia - Fermi will see these on the 25th
The only garden I have seen Pradesh is Harolds garden

Several years ago I collected in Turkey extremely low sample of Anemone coronaria. I'm not generally interested in A. coronaria as they are not easy here, but this one was so dwarf that I decided to try. It was collected in 2007 and only this spring greated me with first flowwers, keeping its dwarf habit. There were 2 color forms (I remembered that I collected only red one, but seem that memory have faults).
Another in this entry is Anemone tschernjajewii from Jilek seeds
and as last - Anemone biflora collected by me in Iran.
Janis
-
Now few cultivars of woodland Anremones (now regarded as Anemonoides) - A, nemorosa and A. ranunculoides - from each first three varieties blooming in my greenhouse, all selected from wild on Hiumaa Island in Estonia by local teacher Taavi Tuulik.
Kassari

Tups - all from nemorosa and

Star - of yellow ranunculoides

I find this fascinating.
Anemone nemorosa 'Green Fingers'
-
Nice patch Graham
My Green Fingers has no white petals

Roland

Roland
Mine wrongly named or yours?
-
Mine maybe
I bought 14 different nemorosa's
2 where wrong named
so maybe 3
by the way
in your second picture is one letter wrong
Roland
-
Hi Roland,
Yes there is a letter wrong should of course read nemorosa.
All the photos I have seen of 'Green Fingers' look like mine with the white petals.
-
My 'Green Fingers' is like Graham's, could your plant be 'Virescens', Roland?
-
I was thinking of that
but had no good picture to compare
Roland
-
Flowers of them are quite variable from plant to plant and from season to season. In general 'Green Fingers' has white petals and in leaf-like structure modified anthers. 'Virescens' has no white flower segments, they all are replaced by leaf-like structure. Sometimes mutations happens in stocks, so care must be done to keep original shape. Problem that change in shape can be annual and next year flowers return to normal form.
Janis
-
I just googled some pictures
and my Anemone nemorosa Green Fingers
is Anemone nemorosa Virescens
Roland
-
The same thing for me Roland ??? plants bought from Potterton's nursery
-
The same Anemone coronaria from Turkey but in better light.
Janis
-
All lovely but yours are very special Janis. I especially admire A. tschernjajewii.
-
This is Anemone nemorosa 'Miss Eunice' -
one of the specimen with the darkest blue and with an interesting shape - a gift from a nice forumist!
Gerd

Very good colour Gerd
Do you know if this one is in trade already

Anemone coronaria
Spring comes early to the S of England (though the caterpillar damage is appropriate to the actual season).
-
Gerry,
how strange that you should be getting flowers on Anemone coronaria now! This little one flowered last month, Anemone coronaria collected in Iraq,
[attachthumb=4]
We have Anemone pavonina in bloom now

I too have had a flower on mine recently - in the garden.

:o What a perfect colour combination Dave :o
Roland

The blue and white is a beauty all right and I prefer the solid red/black to the ones with a band of white between.

According to the BBC news many plants, both woody & herbaceous, are flowering out of season.
