Title: Pulsatilla
Post by: Ceratonia on March 30, 2006, 14:24:31
First attempt at posting a picture - let's see if it works.

This is a Pulsatilla vulgaris I was given by palustris last year. Shame I didn't quite get the whole flower in the shot.

I thought they were supposed to flower at Easter - hence the name Pasqueflower?

And not to be outdone, here is Pulsatilla grandis. Sadly this plant has never set seed and I have never been able to get another plant to cross fertilise.

WOW eric, I'm not really a flower fan, but this is a Beauty 8). You must have a really good camera to get this detail - what is it?

oops, accidentally came away from the local nursery with a pulsatilla, and another auricula.  I blame you lot.

The freesia bulbs were all my fault though.
