: [pbs] National Collection - was UK bulbs - anemone nem.
In the U.K. there seem to be two official ways to get names sorted
out. One is for a Collection Holder to do a lot of research, and the
other is trials at one of the RHS gardens, like Wisley.
The Royal Horticultural Society has about 50 trials each year.

I don't think they have ever had
one on Anemone nemorosa.
The RHS did run a trial on Anemone nemorosa at Knightshayes in Devon, but
alas the recording and results were entrusted to a chronic dyslexic who
developed cancer at about that time and has since died. Brian Mathew tells
me that he is attempting to decipher the notes, but I fear that as an
exercise in sorting out the musddle it will prove to have been rather
worthless.
