April 9, 2013 -- windflowers

Here they come--the catalogs offering bulbs to plant for next spring. And spring has just arrived (bearing 80 degree temperatures!) in Virginia. The nice thing this catalog brought with it was a reminder that some of the flowers blooming in the garden were windflowers (Anemone blanda, I guess). I have no idea where they came from--a friend, a freebie with another bulb order? They are gorgeous in the garden and pretty impressive in the windowsill, too. I keep waiting for them to close up, but it hasn't happened yet.
