These are anemones that are larger than the spring-flowering Anemone blanda and nemorosa, typically 30 to 50 cm high, some a little taller, some more spreading. All have lovely flowers, white, pale yellow, blue, red, often with a darker flush to the outside of the petals (strictly sepals). They include plants from woods and from alpine meadows, and originate all round the northern hemisphere.
Anemone reflexa is an unusual species of Anemone from the Far East, with curious flowers, with fairly narrow sepals, pure white.
