Nice flower Sue. What is the botanical name?
ReplyDeleteIt’s Anemone x hybrida 'September Charm' or Japanese anemone, Nadezda. It always seems to bloom before September though.
DeleteThanks Sue.
DeleteMine have just put in an appearance too. So pretty, especially in the breezes.
ReplyDeleteThis one always seems to be early, Deborah. It was tricky to photograph in the wind.
DeleteOh, isn't she just adorable!xxx
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be trying to stare us out, Dina
DeleteBeautiful color. Is it an anemone? Mine haven't started blooming yet. I do have buds. We need rain that would help them. Do I sound like a broken record about needing rain?
ReplyDeleteI don’t know why ours flower so early, Lisa. We would just like some more summery weather.
DeleteI find your blog to be so satisfying. First though what are the flowers on your banner? Beautiful and purple and a little spreading like trees? All I know of England & Yorkshire has been accumulated from books and movies. Never really thought "real" gardens could be so magical. And as I go along, I've learned that hellebores are not the from Harry Potter & courgettes are zucchinis. What fun! So much better than worrying about the pandemic. Aloha (from Hawaii)
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you enjoy visiting R and thank you for taking the time to comment. The banner features two black elder bushes - Sambucus Nigra Black Lace. It’s a cultivated version of our native elder. You can use the flowers to make elderflower cordial which is also pink rather than that made using the white flowers of the wild version. It’s very vigorous. I do agree that we need diversions from the doom and gloom of news reports. You probably know more about England than I do Hawaii.
DeleteSo pretty. I've never heard them called windflowers before but very apt at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe gale flowers would be more appropriate this week Jo. At least today - Thursday - has been calmer.
DeleteMost appropriate indeed Sue 😂 A fine plant.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites Sue, had the pink September charm but it got a bit invasive. The white one seems a bit better behaved. I keep the pinks in pots, they do well there :-)
