ID this mystery (wild?) flower, TIA
We've got these in our back garden:
http://www.genesis-x.nildram.co.uk/images/flower.jpg (2400x1800 719.1K) Smaller pictu http://www.genesis-x.nildram.co.uk/i...ower-small.jpg (640x480 219.4K) And yes, those are *it's* leaves in the foreground. The flower has a long thin green stem. My Mother seems to think this is a rare/endangered wild woodland species, but doesn't know for sure what it is; any ideas? Thanks, - [H]omer |

A double form of the Wood Anemone. -- Regards Bob Some photos of my plants at..... |

Nice :-) She's partly right - it's Anemone nemorosa - wood anemone or wildflower - which is a wildflower (though not endangered, but as a woodland species it's not exactly weed status) - except that this is not the wild species, it's a double flowered garden variety. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

I just found this seconds before reading your post: http://www.rareplants.co.uk/anemone/ (commercial site) It's the "Vestal", as Bob also pointed out. I think my father may have "collected" some from the woods (he worked for the Forestry Commission years ago). - [H]omer |

As a garden variety I'd be very surprised to see it in the woods. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
