Roan....those white Anemones remind me of the dead sticks I cut down yesterday!! Mine'll be along again in about 6 months time! Ours don't die, they are green all year round and make great ground cover. It must be our milder climate. We only have two colours at the moment, although we have our eye on a nice orange one we would like to have at the back of our section. Hope you post some pictures of yours when they are in flower! |

Heart stopping photos Roan And an idea. It is pouring here, so I might take my wee grandson to Glasgow Botanic Gardens and take him to the hothouses. With my camera. |

What is the last pic Roan? That's a good question, we hadn't seen one before, so don't know what it is. perhaps one of our very knowledgeable friends could enlighten us? |
