Woodland anemones This year we have tried to create a small woodland glade around the small deck in the front where we can sit out of the sun on hot afernoons, a perfect place for kaffee und kuchen (one of my excuses for getting Mrs J to bake). We planted tiny corms of woodland anemones last year and the flowers are now one of my favourites. Seemingly so delicate but almost the first flowers out in the quite heavily shaded area. A couple of miniature cyclamen are also beginning to show some excellent colour and grape hyacinths are also beginning to flower. Cordylines provide contrasting forms of leaf in among the ferns.     |

Even a couple of dandelions don't look out of place.

I remember taking the Brownie Troop for an early spring hike along a path through some timbers. It was at the home of an older couple who had naturalized several areas and enjoyed showing them and explaining them to the young people. Their front yard, approximately 2 acres, was entirely covered with little white and yellow flowers they called "Spring Beauties". All along the trail through the timbers, were patches of other spring flowers, giving a surprise as we walked along. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

The anemones are such pretty little flowers, love the way they are nestling among the ferns.

From an old packet in my collection, I started anemone seeds this week. Was wondering why I've never tried them before. The picture is beautiful, multi colored. I'm curious to see if any germinate.
