Anyone else have them and love em' too? Would enjoy seeing some pics of yours if you have any to share.

I must admit I enjoy ephemerals like these. So easy to stuff in-between the late risers. By the time they die down everything else has filled in around them. I'm thinking of getting some more someday- maybe a few doubles, 'Green Fingers Group', and that weird-o 'Virescens'.

Unknown medium blue

'Bracteata Pleniflora'- ordered this from Joy Creek Nursery some years ago. It has lotus-like white flowers with interesting green streaking on bottom petals.

I grow 'Allenii', 'Robinsoniana' and the exquisite double white 'Vestal'. This spring I have on order from Far Reaches Farm some potted Anemone x lipsiensis, which is a pale yellow hybrid of A. nemorosa and A. ranunculoides.

Edelweiss Perennials sells a great selection of potted A. nemorosa cultivars, and planting them from potted starts is probably the best way to ensure success with them. Odyssey Bulbs offers generous damp-packed rhizomes of 'Robinsoniana' for fall delivery.

And speaking of the wonderful Odyssey Bulbs, I am excited to see they are offering tubers of Anemone blanda 'Enem' for fall delivery. Aside from the somewhat unfortunate name (actually named for a village near the Black Sea close to where this plant was found) this is supposed to be the most vigorous and bluest of the Anemone blanda types. Best part is, from a reliable supplier like Odyssey there is no danger of them being dried out and DOA like many of the Anemone blanda tubers shipped in from Holland every fall.

Well, you just listed three nurseries that it is DANGEROUS for me to look at online :-P Yeah, it was FRF I was thinking of ordering more from someday. That A. lipensis caught my eye too- please let me know how yours does in the future if it's not a bother! I love pale yellow flowers...

I bought a pack of A. blanda at Wal-Mart (of all places) several years back and also love them. Not bland in the least! Hopefully they do okay this year- some of mine don't seem to be coming up. Sigh, I think I may be cursed with bulbs.

I know what you mean about DANGEROUS, lol! Especially Edelweiss Perennials and Odyssey Bulbs in my case. I can hardly ever browse their websites without adding things to my existing orders. I placed my first order with Far Reaches Farm last spring when searching for Hacquetia epipactis. They are first rate!

I can't even look at OB without wanting to wipe out their entire Corydalis section...and here I thought I was "done" with that genus, lol.

Both do very well, the former results in compact patches of yellow and the latter has a lovely pale lavender colour.

Not sure if it should be a problem, but the rhizomes can be disturbed and bits moved around by working the soil (in the interests of other perennial plants). Result: below.

Not easy, however, to kind of coordinate it's colour with that of other spring perennials. Nice when chance lets it work.

Oooo....I must admit you kind of scared me off the ranunculoides by saying it spreads so easily! Lol. I know it's probably unreasonable to compare it to Campanula rampunculoides in that regard, but somehow in my mind I do!!
CMK

Anenome ranunculoides is certainly not in the invasive league of the campanula you mention, or supposedly desirable campanulas such as C. punctata either.

I think I'll have stronger opinions about A. ranunculoides in maybe another five years, but have only been using it for about five years so far. I have definitely found it to be clump-forming, the clumps getting larger over time. As said, my problems is me disturbing the rhizomes and moving bits around when working the soil.

On the other hand, I do anticipate success in (manually) containing it, as needed.
