These are close ups of some of the clumps of Pulsatilla we have. You would not believe the number of self sown seedlings we have to weed out. P. Papageno which is semi double and has fringed petals. Pulsatilla grandis. This was grown from seed collected in Austria many years ago (not by me though). There was a really blue form of this called Budapest once upon a time. A white form of P. Papageno, bought as P. grandis, but just as nice. P. rubra. There are redder version of this. Pulsatilla vulgaris pink form. This could be one called Eva Constance.
Those are some beautiful blooms. I really like the second and fourth pictures and how furry all the plants are.
I adore Pulsatillas. Yours are lovely, Palustris. What I like most about them are the soft buds and silky seed heads. They're as close to a pet as one can get.
Those are lovely, Palustris...such gentle tones. I am still waiting on mine to bloom, they are just sitting there looking all hairy but not actually opening.
I've never heard of this flower before. They are very pretty blooms and nice colors. Thanks -- love learning something new.
I used to have some of these growing in my garden. That is until my husband decided to do some 'weeding' for me and they mysteriously vanished! After seeing your photographs I think I should invest in some more but leave a label in the earth beside them this time.
I absolutely love these plants! They bloom so early in spring, and can handle our dry, sandy soil. Great pics!
So beautiful. I have some...or rather had some. Can't remember where they were and haven't spotted them Me thinks I shall have to invest in some seeds.
