Have a love-ly day.
The quiet joy of a flower discovered in Siena, Italy.

The brilliant colors of these anemones make me happy! Sadly, I forgot what the “greens” looked like in early spring and pulled up many new shoots. Oops! I will remember for next year though. Despite ME, they grew brilliantly. So joyful!

I have no memory of planting these gorgeous garden queens. In fact, the colors are so brilliant the flowers seem artificial. But they are real, bugs and all. And apparently, prolific seeds and all, because these returned from last summer, and the summer before that. My best guess is there must have been some seeds in the packets of wildflowers I once spread hither and yon. They grow crazy all summer, and then by late summer, bam, crowds of beauty.
