Anemonopsis

If anyone would be interested in trying some Anemonopsis macrophyla seed, I
just collected it.  I've never grown it from seed but did find this on Tom
Clothier's list:
Sow at Max. 5:C (41:F), germination irregular, often several months
Perhaps Gene or Marge would have some experience with it and could expand on
its requirements.

If you're not familiar with it it is a lovely Japanese woodland plant.
Here's a picture:

COMMON: False anemone
Late July to September 1 ft. - 3 ft. Semishade 4 - 9
...topped in late summer by wiry stems bearing pendant pink flowers, to 3
feet tall. Hard to find. Needs well-drained, humus-rich soil in light to
medium shade; easier in cool summer areas.
