Pasque flowers, the genus Pulsatilla - Zoom Lecture by Dr. Christopher Grey Wilson for the AGS

Closely related to anemones, pulsatillas or pasque-flowers are amongst the most exquisite of all mountain plants. Furthermore they are an essential element in any alpine garden. This lecture supplements the book Christopher wrote on the subject, and it features sumptuous photographs of the species in the wild and cultivation. Dr. Christopher Grey-Wilson retired as Editor of the Alpine Garden Society in 2011 after twenty-one years. Before that, from 1968-1989, he was a Principal Scientific Officer at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. He has travelled widely, particularly in the mountains of Europe and Asia. Over the years Christopher has written many books and articles. These include monographs on Clematis, Cyclamen, Dionysia and poppies as well as guides to European alpine plants, Greek bulbs and Mediterranean flowers. He was awarded a VMH by the RHS in 2007 for ‘outstanding service to horticulture’. Online Zoom lectures enable us to share our love of alpine plants with a wide international audience.
