Japanese Anemone

Late flowering Japanese Anemone

Friday 11th September 2015

If there is one flower in the garden that cheers me up as autumn approaches, it is the Japanese Anemone. It flowers from August to late October and comes in different shades of pink, also white as above. The plant grows to about a metre high and has a profusion of flowers on long stems that sway in the breeze. It is a perennial, that some people regard as a weed as it can become a little invasive. Autumn is near and our garden is full of colour. I picked out a flower and photographed it using a shallow depth of field to blur the background.
