Re: [SG] Anemone

Hello Marge & Clyde,
        Several different species of anemones are being discussed here. The fact
that one is double or single does not tell too much as many species and
hybrids have both double and single forms. There are also all kinds of root
systems under the anemone that helps to separate the species.
        The John Scheepers catalog has some photos of the St Brigid Anemone on
page 71. They carry both the single and double forms. These are for frost
free areas and are often grown for the cut flower trade in greenhouses.
Anemone Blanda, or Grecian Windflower, is another popular little anemone
sold in the bulb catalogs that is hardy in Clyde's area. (page 46). The
Japanese anemone, a. hupehensis, A. hybrid, is great for late blooms in the
garden. There are countless hybrids of these as they are popular more and
more as gardeners get acquainted with them. In fact, I hope to carry some
in my catalog next year if I can get the price right on wholesale. (Want
more for my garden) You will find these in several different forms, both
single and double.
        Marge, September Charm should be "a single rose-pink flower which is
darker on the outside than the inside. Average height is 2-3'" The buds
have a purplish streak on them.
        Any of this help at all?
