Japanese Anemone
Anemone x hybrid 'Honorine
Jobert'
(uh-NEM-oh-nee)
This flower is really
starting to grow on me. It is one of the few perennials in the garden that
still has strong blooms and good looks right now. It seems very reliable and
returns every year. Usually it starts blooming in very late summer and adds a
kick to any late season planting areas. The main problem is how tall it gets
and it does have a tendency to flop over. Rather stake individual plants we
often put up kind of a fence around the plantings and that holds up the
blossoms. There are some pink types that are also beautiful.
Everyone here is bracing for
the possible hurricane on Monday/Tuesday. The forecast keeps changing but we
are now directly in the projected path (the cone of doom as I call it). High
winds and a lot of rain is expected depending how the storm sets up. I am going
to try and not worry that much about it. Getting the chain saws ready will be
the extent of my preparations right now.
