Anemone hortensis L., syn: Anemone stellata Lam.EN: Broad-Leaved Anemone, DE: Stern AnemoneSlo.: zvezdasta veternicaDat.: April 18. 2018Lat.: 45.079810 Long.: 14.441725Code: Bot_1123/2018_03815Habitat: semi ruderal stony, grassy ground; flat terrain; calcareous, skeletal ground; full sun; dry place; elevation 115 m (380 feet); average precipitations 900-1000 mm/year, average temperature 13-15 deg C, sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soilPlace: Island Krk, west part; west outskirts of village Brzac; Kvarner archipelago, Adriatic Sea, Croatia EC. Comment: Anemone hortensis is, as almost all other plants in this genus including countless garden and pot plants, very beautiful with its large flowers and shocking contrast between deep black stamens and colorful petals. It is one of the six species of genus Anemone growing in Slovenia. It loves warmth and is also fragrant. To determine it to species level is easy since it is the only one with pink-violet flowers (in Slovenia! - there are several species of similar colors growing in north Mediterranean). The only confusion may eventually happen with some plants of genus Aster, which also bloom violet. However, Anemone hortensis has ground and stalk leaves of very different shape. Stalk leaves are entire, ground leaves are deeply divided, while this is never the case with Aster genus, which in addition belongs to daisy (Compositae) family. The color of the petals of Anemone hortensis can vary considerably; from almost white with pink or bluish tint, to pink, violet or sometimes scarlet.Although easy to recognize, so much more difficult is it to find it in Slovenia. The plant is very rare and considered critically endangered. It has already disappeared from some places and now grows on only a few spots in the warmest part of the state on calcareous ground in peninsula Istria. Much different is the situation on Croatian part of Istria and all along Adriatic Sea shore including Adriatic islands. On island Krk in spring it is among the most conspicuous flower on meadows, wood edges, among bushes and also semi ruderal grassy spots.Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, t. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).Pravilnik o uvrstitvi ogroenih rastlinskih in ivalskih vrst v rdei seznam, Uradni list RS, t. 82/2002 (Regulation of enlisting of endangered plant and animal species onto Red List, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 82/2002) (2002). Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by "E" representing a critically endangered species.Ref.:(1) A.

Substratum: soil.Place: Breginjski Stol ridge, near Planina Boca, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: This early spring flower is very common in Slovenia. On some places in light woods it reaches almost 100% ground coverage with thousands and thousands of flowers, a really wonderful display after winter. One can find it from low level plains up to almost subalpine elevations; however it always requires quite moist ground. Anemone nemorosa grows in Europe only. Beautiful but poisonous plant!Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K. Oswald, Exkursionsflora Oesterreich Liechtenstein, Suedtirol, LO Landesmuseen, Linz, Austria (2005), p 310.(2) A.
