Little Blue Gems

Woodland Anemone

Anemone - 'Daughter of the Wind' or 'Windflower'.

 

You can see how similar the centre of this little gem is to the much larger Japanese Anemones - yet they are so different. The much taller - 3 to 4 feet or so - leggy Japanese versions we have live up to their names dancing merrily in the slightest breeze, whilst these little beauties prefer a shady sheltered spot and are only a few cm high.
