Dear all

Can anyone help with this primrose and pasque flower from the Italian alps. I think the other one is Liotard's Star-of-Bethlehem, but I happy to be corrected.

Regards

Steve

I reckon:

1 Primula pedemontana
2 Pulsatilla alpina
Agree on 3.

Many thanks

I'm after advice for this pink too.

Much appreciated. I was torn between alpina and alba. Any advice on how to tell them apart from a photo?

Could it be Pulsatilla vernalis?

From images I've looked at P. alba flowers seem to be more pure white but common for P. alpina to have that purplish flush at the back of the petals.

I think alba and alpine are both quite tall , 30cm+ with very divided leaves. Vernalis is only 10cm tall with less divided leaves .Have a look at the pictures in the link. I am no expert but I do grow vernalis and a few other pulsatillas in my garden

I think those species will be considerably smaller in a wild situation compared with in a garden. Images I've looked at show them appearing much smaller than your 30cm.
