Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Wood Anemone. This is a good blue form with flowers darker than many of the blue selections and even though the individual flowers are a little smaller than typical, we don't care as this is such a lovely thing. Found in the Estonian woodlands by Mart Veerus and introduced we think by Janis Ruksans.
