A cheerful welcome to autumn

[revmichael]

I return back from the heat of Greece to the very obvious signs of the beginning of autumn in the air.
However, even though my roses are beginning to stop blooming there, in the midst of them were these lovely, cheerful blooms of Anemone "Honorine Joubert".

My mother grew them in her garden 70 years ago. I still like them. Do others agree?




Sorry it was getting dark as I took this but I think it gives them a ghostly glow.

The photo is lovely, I've got lots of anemones, but I think I like the white one the most. It's behind the pond and makes an effective screen between the patio and the lawn. I have two great big pink ones in the main border, for the first time I have had to tie one back. We have badgers visit the garden and I think they go behind the anemone and make it forward. They do the same to the fushia which is just along from it. Little loves!!
Happy days
Rose

Lovely RM, I am hoping yet to get a show like that from my anemone. We have very sandy soil and I think past dry summers have deterred my plants from thriving. This year I have 1 poor little thing struggling to flower. I am fond of them because the plant was given to me by my neighbour who has moved away. The present neighbours have either dug the rest up or they have died on them. I like to think of my garden as a 'friendship' garden, because alot of my plants have been given to me by friends, which is a lovely way to remember people.

I spy a Black-Eyed Susan clambering up the obelisk. What's the pink climber?

I don't know Shuggie.
I bought four different annual climbers from Nottcutt's nursery. I get the same ones every year. I grow very few annuals but I do like my climbers.
I'll see if I can find the label down in the soil. PMR tends to throw them out. She doesn't like to see them.
