Birth Of An Anemone

Today I was able to watch the first flower of this anemone plant open - hour by hour as it unfurled its beauty.

This is a favorite flower of mine in the garden.  It  was growing near the front patio when I moved here. I have managed to divide it to make several plants. 

In addition to the white/pink plant, there also is a similar plant in red.  I have been able to divide that plant, as well.  It is getting ready to start opening its buds. I have planted the red plant on the right of the stepping stone you can see in the photo below.  I have no idea what the actual name of the plant is. But, one thing is for sure, it likes where it is growing and produces nicely each and every year.

I just realized that many of my posts talk about a favorite plant in my garden. I guess ALL of them are my favorites. Because all of them bring me much joy.

Wishing you a Joyful day.
