Alpine-L had Anemone nemorosa as a topic of the week beginning March 1 this year, with a good introduction by Hannelotte Kindlund of Sweden. The archives are at http://listserv.surfnet.nl/archives/alpine-l.html Just click on March 2004 to find the messages. There is a National Collection of nemorosa in Yorkshire. I would like to arrive there with a bouquet of flowers to be identified. I could do it with the ones grown along the Pacific coast, but I imagine those grown in the east would not flower at the same time. Still, if we were able to put names to the Pacific plants, we could then have a reference collection which we could house at one place in Canada, and one in the U.S. Maybe the developing Oregon Garden in Silverton, and the Hort Centre of the Pacific in Victoria B.C. Perhaps we could have the Yorkshire collection holder come out here to talk and identify our plants. -- Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada maritime zone 8 cool mediterranean climate (dry summer, rainy winter - 68 cm annually) sandy soil
