So lovely to have such a beauty to name for your wife....
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: WimB on March 20, 2011, 12:00:29 PM: That's a wonderful Anemone, Janis.

Your wife must be very happy to have such a beautiful plant named for her.

Post by: Hans J on March 20, 2011, 12:41:56 PM: 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

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

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.

Post by: YT on March 20, 2011, 03:35:26 PM: 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 ;)

Post by: Janis Ruksans on April 05, 2011, 07:15:11 PM: 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.

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
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: bulborum on April 07, 2011, 12:55:28 PM: 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

Post by: bulborum on April 07, 2011, 06:23:43 PM: 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
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: WimB on April 17, 2011, 06:25:26 PM: Roland, your 'Murielle' is breathtaking!

Some anemones flowering here now:

Anemone nemerosa 'Vestal'

Post by: Luc Gilgemyn on April 17, 2011, 08:09:39 PM: 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.

Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: Janis Ruksans on April 19, 2011, 07:06:40 AM: 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.

Mine wrongly named or yours?
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: bulborum on April 19, 2011, 09:16:27 PM: 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
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: Graham Catlow on April 19, 2011, 09:25:02 PM: 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.
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: arisaema on April 19, 2011, 10:15:31 PM: My 'Green Fingers' is like Graham's, could your plant be 'Virescens', Roland?
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: bulborum on April 19, 2011, 10:23:49 PM: I was thinking of that
but had no good picture to compare

Roland
Title: Re: Anemones - 2011
Post by: Janis Ruksans on April 20, 2011, 05:54:14 AM: 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.

Title: Re: Anemones - 2011

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