I don't like pink either @rose.lewis76Fpr_OkcJ unless it's a strong pink. Pastels are not for me Are you feeding them a lot? Sometimes if you use a nitrogen rich food, you get foliage at the expense of flowers.

I never feed mine so it can't be that then! I grow my plants hard - I only feed heavy flowering plants - climbers, annuals etc. so they only get a little sprinkle of B,F&B on planting, and occasionally in spring. I prefer to add organic matter each year. I garden on clay, which has plenty of nutrients anyway

It's a mystery! I'm wondering if your original plant might have been wrongly labelled, but then most of the short-growing anemones flower in spring so it's pretty unlikely.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
@JennyJ I'd think that if I hadn't bought so many - but I actually bought several plants from two different places in the end.
It was part of a complete transformation that we did on our garden, taking it from waist high weeds and broken paving to a wildlife garden with pond, patio, veg garden and winding path. I bought a lot of plants that year!
Certainly a mystery right enough The short, woodland anemones are spring flowering, as @JennyJ says, so you'd only get some flowers now if there was an odd spell of weather, or you lived somewhere much colder where you get one or two showing at other times of year. They have different foliage though. Can you post some photos? That might help with some other ideas. Is anything else growing nearby looking different, or is it just those?

I went out in the garden for the first time in a few days as it's been so wet and found that they've managed to grow the flower buds up above the leaves now for the first time ever!
As all of the other ones I see around the area have been in flower for a while I assumed that they weren't going to make it again, but they're just a bit late (probably because it's shadier than the other places I see them).
So that settles it, it must be that they didn't have enough water and this never-ending rain is what they were after!
I'll make a note to water them every week through spring/summer in future.
Just looking at your original post @rose.lewis76Fpr_OkcJ, and you said you have a lot of trees there. Those will possibly have contributed to the problem, because they not only prevent moisture getting through their canopy, especially once they have foliage, but they'll also soak up most of the available moisture. In an average bed/border, they would get a lot more, even if you're not in an area of higher rainfall.
