Flowers are amazing when you look at them closely aren't they? I woyuld love to grow pulsatilla as a cut flower but suspect it may be too short. I usually lurk here - I have finally managed to find the time to sort out my side bar links and have popped you on - better late than never (though I suspect you aren't near Dunblane - let me know where you are and I'll alter it!) J
Pam, thankyou, thats what I think about them too, fifty photographs later. . . Jane, nice of you to stop lurking! I dont know if they cut, they only flower for a short time at this time of year and I have never tried them outside. I usually say Campsie Fells as my location, Dunblane is far too posh for me.
Claire, I've never seen a flower like this, though they may be around. It is so incredibly beautiful that I am going to have to look for them. WOW is right!!
this looks like something i've been calling pulsatilla... will have to check my spelling/sources. we have herds of them wild all over the hills here in northern alberta. mostly of a pale mauvey lavender color. they're our first wild flower of the year, though still buried beneath 4 feet of snow as i write this. we call them 'wild crocus' and children pick little fistfuls for their mums every spring. i had a flat of them started indoors this winter, and they all damped off.
A lifetime of kind horsemanship, I think we were doing natural horsemanship before it was ''invented''
I have completed Level One with Quantum Savvy Natural Horsemanship.
I am sad I can no longer access the Parelli learning platform, its just too expensive with too many changes.
I've tried some clicker training with good results , but haven't found any one person to wholly agree with. I guess I'll just need to keep trying to see what works

Just inhaled some fragrance here....you've got a good camera and a great garden. Nice combination.
Alice, I dont know where they're native to , I'll have to look that up.
Bonita, thanks for visiting and your nice comment.

The pulsatia are truly amazing. You did a wonderful job with these photos. I don't think I've ever seen this flower before.
