Well, I have already shown one of these photos, but the plants are so spectacular (and apropos) that I hope no one minds seeing them again!
Here are a couple of C. anemonoides, photographed last May 3rd in Stephanie Ferguson's exquisite garden; the second photo, of a plant not yet in full bloom (or of a younger plant perhaps), shows the interesting foliage nicely:


And, believe it or not, I was so lucky as to have been given a C. coriandrifolium seedling last summer!  (Again, thanks, SF!!)  ...Waiting to see how it's done over the winter...

On the first photo, don't you just love it when the flowers are so packed in and sumptuous that they barely have room enough to open.  One wonders what the foliage looks like below all those distracting flowers Wink so it's good to get a peek at the foliage in the second shot, and wonderful foliage it is.

 It is a really splendid plant Smiley Hopefully yours will be just as smashing-- I guess coriandrifolium would refer to highly divided leaves? Wrightman's said white flowers...

One of my favourites and one I've tried from seed with no success.  Finally have tracked down a source so I just ordered C. coriandrifolium.

Mark, thanks for the link to Callianthemum farreri, what a beauty.  Couldn't make the other link to C, coriandrifolium work.  Callianthemum anemenoides is just starting to push through.  It's doubtful it will bloom before leaving for Nottingham because it's supposed to rain all week.  The rain is welcome but wish I could see it bloom.

Anne, we should try to meet-up during the conference as I 'know' so few who are going.

Crumbs, Todd, I hope we are ALL going to meet up... there are only 250 or so there, shouldn't be too hard to achieve over the period!

Todd, I'll definitely be on the lookout for you.  As one of the speakers, you shouldn't be hard to find!
