Dear Janet and Oliver:
Welcome to the list!
Funny you should mention Anemones, because I was walking in the woods this
morning and saw masses of what I think is Anemone deltoidea, along with the
absolutely-wonderful-but-so-slow-from-seed Clintonia andrewsiana. It seems
a bit early for the Clintonia, but this is a different population from the
one I have collected seed from in the past. Trillium ovatum is still in
bloom, but Scoliopus bigelovii is just about finished. The anemone is white
with very prominent gold stamens.

Thank you for your welcome to the list and invitation to introduce myself.
I garden in South Lincolnshire, UK. I moved to a 2.5 acre garden five
years a go and have been gradually converting some of the meadow land to
garden. The garden is in very flat Fenland and consists of fertile fen
silt. We are surrounded by high quality agricultural land and in fact
our local town, Spalding, is famous for commercial bulb-growing: tulips,
etc
I grow almost anything. As well as bulbs, I love growing trees from seed
and also spend quite a lot of time and energy on vegetables. However,
one of my main passions is shade-loving plants and I am trying slowly to
collect more Erythroniums and Trilliums. I discovered this list when
looking for information about Erythronium tuolumnense and following a
browser link to your site.
Another very specific interest I have is Anemones, and I would be
interested to know whether there are any Anemones native in your area.
