A Long Time Coming

At last after 10 days ago



Five days ago:



Two days ago:



And finally yesterday My First Anemone Opened..
A bright red one..



This one is from the very first lot I planted in March else where in the garden.
Amazing a few of those managed to survive all that rain we had since.
I seen a new bud close by to it also 9 days to go for another flower....

Brilliant, MA... I love the way you show the bud opening in stages ....nature sure is amazing.

Thanks So Much Fay.. Yes Nature sure is amazing
I used to do the count down on my roses once, that was a while back.
I think it makes the topic just a little more interesting..
So much better than posting the one flower which is all I have.

Love the colour MA, I have a few the same, never know what is what till the open

Thanks they are all nice colours I am waiting for the blue and pink I like them best, Its would be one of yours Cheryl as it was the older packet from the year before that got planted before the rains, remember the yellow err cream Gazania you sent me I think it was last year well that packet was in that parcel

I used to grow beautiful Anemones when I lived in Toowoomba.
Can't grow them here in Buderim under the palm trees.

Bright and cheery to brighten your day. None of my anemones survived from last year but I noticed my first spring star this morning and the jonquils from last year are budding up

That's a shame Marlene.. After I lost the next three lots of 270 corms I had enough sense to put three in a big pot they are months behind that one above but I can always move them around when the weather gets warmer..

I have heaps of those Spring Stars this year (may have to bin some) but none flowering yet Gail, also a few strange looking leaves could be Jonquils from Cheryl that are thickening up very nice.. I found two more anemones just before I will put the pics on when I download them..
