Picture taken in Southern China and they appear to be wild (species).

this is from Wikipedia:

A. hupehensis is native to central China, though it has been naturalised in Japan for hundreds of years.

The species was first named and described in Flora Japonica (1784), by Carl Thunberg. Thunberg had collected dried specimens while working as a doctor for the Dutch East Indies Company.[4] In 1844, Robert Fortune brought the plant to England from China, where he found it often planted about graves.

My anemones are just starting to bloom now and its freezing alot of nights, so I am covering them up. I hope they get to bloom a little bit at least. this has to be waaaay too late; not normal?

looks like my charlotte.
