    For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of this beautiful flower. I'm thinking Aemone (sp?) but I am not sure.
    Do you know the name?

    You are right!! :stew2:

    I looked up Pulsatilla and found it. Another name for it is a Pasque flower.

    Thank you!

    I'd say Scillia too as I have them in my garden - pale blue and the darker blue just like yours. :-D

    Scilla for sure, would need a close up to say which one exactly.
    Pulsatilla vulgaris is the first one, but again would need to be able to count the leaf divisions to see it it was a different species.
