What is this cheery flower please

These appear to have popped up in a tub of bulbs but I can’t remember if I planted them? Wondering if I popped some anemone seeds there or whether it is something that has self seeded 🤔 many thanks

  • Ours are in flower in the gravel bed and when the sun hits them they open up completely. A real joy to see and they spread on their own and we love to see them.
  • Thankyou everyone for your replies xx much appreciated xx do they set seed?

    If you are lucky then they do set seed. If you want to sow it then collect while still green, it germinates better from unripe seed. If you gently rub a finger along the seed pod, the seed will come off if it is ready to sow.
