Title: Re: Anemones
I have oodles of anemones, spring and fall) plus Anemonella and Anemonopsis...love em' all!
 
It doesn't look like A. tomentosa, Grapeleaf Anemone, because that one travels too much, too quickly and would never stay in two nice clumps like that. Also, it's flowers fly well above the foliage rather than as close as shown in the picture.
 
I have an A. huphensis cultivar called Bodnant Burgundy that is very floriferous as the pictured ones are, and it stays a clump for several years before beginning its travels.  It is lower and the flowers hover more closely overhead.  So you may be right that it is some variety of that species.  My eyes aren't that good; are the flowers doubles?

I can?t claim to be particularly knowledgeable on anemone nomenclature, so it?s entirely possible that this could be Anemone tomentosa 'Robustissima'
I wasn?t able to get out of my vehicle to take a closer look, but if I see the homeowner outside some day as I pass, I will ask them for more information.

You mean it's not robustissima?  That was my first thought but I don't have one and don't know the height, etc.
