You are behind the times. Martha Stewart announced

will
do in
today's hard hitting dog eat dog world of finance and
petty
dishonesty. Get with the program.

(To which the guru replies pastel plants for pastel
people.)


Less jokingly: afaik, most A. nemorosa cultivars are
pale
blue.
Good whites are less common. There are a few pink- and
purple-tinged forms.

But what do I know? The plant isn't native here, and
it
may be
that bluish forms are rarer than white in the wild,
hence
favored
for bringing into gardens.

Well, the only ones I have ever seen are the wild
windflowers and wood anemones, which are white A
nemorosa.
I am not aware of any cultivated cqrieties , so I must
be
out of date.

Roger is right about bluish forms, but they are a very
pale blue, not at
all like the bright blue of Anemone blanda. There are two
quite commonly
available bluish varieties, both of which are quite
vigorous: A.
nemorosa 'Robinsoniana' and A. nemorosa 'Allenii'.
However, I wouldn't say there are more blue cultivars than
white; there
are some quite large-flowered white forms available as
cultivars too
and, of course, the species itself which is an excellent
plant in its
own right.

That's interesting. Thanks for confirming what Roger said..
I, too, like the ordinary white form, and have a smallpatch
of them under a tree.

Oh ye of little knowledge.

Try Felicia bergeriana.

Felicia bergeriana is extremely unlikely to be in flower atm.

Well not so sure young Kay, I've just found some of last years petunias
that were in a large pot behind the greenhouse and they are all quite
happily surviving if a trifle straggly!
Never known those to survive the winter inside let alone outside.

I did not collect them from the wild. {:-( I acquired

Oh. I asked because I'm after some seeds of the wild wood anemone. And
some Ransomes. Nostalgia Rules.....
