Japanese Anemones ARE fall.
Just like the ubiquitous Chrysanthemum, but, thankfully not as overused, are these beautiful, delicate, luscious flowers.

These two plants are in a mostly shaded area and are several weeks behind those pink flowers, which is a perfect way to spread out the color in the fall season!

FRIDAY FLOWERS

The season is winding down.

Yes, even here in central North Carolina, there are not many flowers around.

There are lots of chrysanthemums of course, and the Nandina berries are getting ready to show color, and the zinnias are hanging on.

The Japanese Anemones are delighting in the cooler, wetter weather!

And here are my white ones, once again, in the midday sunlight.

Well, anyway, the bowl has been perfect for the violas!

I’ve been planting tons of pansies and tall snapdragons the last few days.
