I have often admired the pictures of Anemone blanda in the catalogs but never bought any of them because I knew of no one who had planted them and had them live past a year or two. My eyes are attracted to the tiny blooms of Claytonia which are busily turning local yards and fields white with their blooms right now. Claytonia, a tiny bulbed native American, lives well, blooms well, and self-seeds well here in our climate. I've often wondered if anyone was working with Claytonia to try and improve on it?
