I can't find a precise description of A. blanda, but my plant looks
very much like A. appennina - stupid of me to trust labels in garden
centres!

Interestingly, it seems to have 15-19 sepals, which is high even by
A. appennina standards. However, I need better weather to be sure
that some aren't merely bifurcated.
